The beloved production by Brisbane’s indelarts is back (in a bite-sized way), for students in Kindy to Year 3 to laugh, love and learn about kindness, conservation and inclusion in a fully accessible way.
With so many options available for students to engage with great touring performances, what makes Wilbur special?
Previously, Wilbur has been connected to the Australian Curriculum through the areas of English, Drama, Health and PE, Critical and Creative Thinking and Sustainability. Teacher resources will be available aligning with Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum, to further encourage schools to host the production. The redevelopment of Wilbur for schools’ touring ensures more kids across Queensland can fall in love with Wilbur, Cecil, and the whole gang!
Available from Term 3 2025, Wilbur 2.0 will feature 5 actors and a tour-ready set design that will continue to incorporate projection and larger-than-life characters, a relaxed and engaging performance atmosphere as well as accessibility features like AUSLAN embedded into the production. Very popular with young audiences, Wilbur has won awards at Adelaide Fringe (Best Kids Show), World Fringe Perth (), Sydney Fringe (Best Kids Show), and the prestigious Matilda Award.
The OG creative team are in the rehearsal room again, retaining the very best of Wilbur, and making him as portable as possible so we can come to you!
From the ocean to anti-bullying, from farting to inclusion, from celebrating difference to understanding consequences, indelarts are thrilled to share this award-winning smash hit production with young audiences across Queensland schools in 2025.
