The Great Beach Adventure
Two best friends get ready to go out on their big adventure to the beach! But what will they need? Swimmers so they can dive into the waves? Sunscreen to slip, slop and slap! They might even stumble across some pirates, so they'll need to pack their swords!
The Great Beach Adventure is a story about imagination. Jacob has never been to the beach; Courtney has. Inspired by the way young people play, their trip to the beach happens in Jacob’s living room, using their imagination and a magic cupboard to explore all the adventures that the beach might bring. Whether it’s helping Courtney prepare for her underwater expedition with the fish or fighting of sea monsters with Jacob, they will need your help to get to the beach! The whole family will be screaming and shouting for more and who knows, maybe after the show even YOU will be ready for your very own Great Beach Adventure!
