The magic banyan tree
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Fraser Coast Regional Council.
Join Mary Poppins favourites, Michael and Jane, as they fly to their creator’s hometown for an amazing adventure.
Not happy about missing out on their bedtime story, Jane and Michael travel across time and space to hear the Magic Banyan Tree tell tall tales and true from over a hundred years of Maryborough family life.
Through a variety of voices, lights, music, dance, puppetry and magical mayhem, Jane, Michael and you will experience the Magic Banyan Tree’s tales of tradition, adventure, love, mischief, the unbelievable and the hilarious. An amazing show, performing for one magical night only as part of the 2018 Mary Poppins Festival.
Pack a picnic, bring a blanket or a chair and join us beside the Banyan Tree for an evening you may never forget.
The Magic Banyan Tree is a whimsical and beautiful live show for the whole family.
