Owl’s aren’t born wise you know, they have to learn it from somewhere. A young owl named Poot Poot is sent to study at Owl school. On his journey he meets an Echidna, a Wombat, a Kookaburra, a Lyrebird, a Kangaroo and a Platypus who each share with him their own kind special kind of wisdom. But will he pass the final test and become wise enough to save the forest? The Owl’s Apprentice is an interactive show for families combining shadow puppetry and physical comedy.

A puppeteer of more than twenty years, Jenny Ellis, weaves the whole tale together with a single set of hands, often playing

multiple characters at once. Jenny has a Post-Graduate Diploma in Puppetry from the Victorian College of the Arts, and has

performed hundreds of shows in numerous festivals, theatres and country halls in every state and territory of Australia, as well

as overseas.

Jenny Ellis, Artistic Director of Little Wing Puppets, said,

“We are thrilled to be returning to Broken Hill. We believe that young people deserve equal access to the arts, wherever they

live. We have demonstrated that with over 16 years on the road, taking shows to some of Australia’s most remote communities.

We know that we can help shape young people’s lives by igniting their imaginations. In a time when there is so much time spent

on screens, the simplicity of puppet theatre still retains a sense of magic. It’s amazing to hear a room full of children gasping

and exploding into laughter over the antics of a puppet on stage. It’s still able to captivate their imaginations.”
