Family Fiesta heads to the Forest in 2026!
 

Family Fiesta is back at MPAC these July school holidays, inviting children aged 0–12 and their families to step into the forest and discover a world of wonder.

Across four days, the MPAC precinct transforms into a lively ecosystem of theatre, dance, music, art and hands‑on discovery. Journey beneath the soil in immersive theatre, encounter fungi in curious creative play, dance through dreamlike worlds, make music, explore science, and meet the creatures and stories that bring forests to life. With a mix of free drop‑in activities and affordable ticketed shows, Family Fiesta is a joyful celebration of imagination, learning and connection for the whole family.

  • Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
