About

The Neeld Community and Arts Centre presents…

A Big Egg, by Steven Lee

From the Story Time series of family musicals by the creators of There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly.

Join children's author Steven Lee in his magical writing shed, where stories hatch before your eyes!

When Steven's mischievous neighbour's dog mistakes him for an egg, he takes refuge among his books and toys and soon finds himself writing a brand-new story with a little help from the audience.

Together, your children and Steven dream up a tale about two siblings, Jack and Molly, who go on a quest to find the biggest egg in the world. From quails and chickens to geese, emus and ostriches, each egg brings a new surprise – until a truly big egg hatches something beyond their wildest dreams!

Packed with laughter, puppetry, songs, gentle humour and live interaction, A Big Egg is a joyful celebration of family, curiosity and the magic of storytelling. Children help shape the story, call out ideas, and even get to be guardians of the animals!

Full of heart and imagination, A Big Egg is the perfect family treat – a story about love, wonder, and the joy of discovering life's little miracles together.

Ideal for ages 2 to 102.
