An action-packed puppet show sees Spare Parts Puppet Theatre premiere at Claremont Showground!

WA's most adored puppet company returns to regular performances for Perth families, presenting the world premiere of Show Day at the Claremont Showground for the April school holidays from April 8, 2023.

Show Day is a riotously funny celebration of Australian rural life as an energetic community prepares for the most anticipated event of the year—the Annual Agricultural Show!

Featuring one of the most dazzling casts of puppets in Spare Parts Puppet Theatre’s 41-year history, Show Day captures the joy of the carnival atmosphere as it follows competitors in wood chopping, sheep dog trials, show jumping and much more, as they come together for one day to do their best at the things they love.

Spare Parts Puppet Theatre Associate Director Michael Barlow said, “the wonderful thing about an Ag Show is there’s something to enjoy for people of every age. Everyone is welcome at Show Day and we can’t wait to welcome audiences to sit around our miniature showground and join in the fun.”

The premiere season of Show Day will be presented at the Ellie Eaton Theatre, accessed via Gate 1 at the Claremont Showground. The show is a rip roaring 50 minutes and perfect for ages five and above.

Saturday 8 to Saturday 22 APRIL 2023 | Sessions at 10 am, 1 pm & 6:30 pm
