The 13-Storey Treehouse follows the adventures of Andy and Terry as they encounter flying cats, mermaids, sea monsters, an invasion of monkeys and a giant gorilla. Adapted for stage by Richard Tulloch, the production promises theatrical wizardry and a whole lot of imagination for kids aged six to 12 and their families. Shows run across three days in early January with multiple session times available.

Beyond the treehouse antics, the Clocktower Centre is also hosting a three-day safari-themed drama workshop run by Immerse Drama. Kids aged six to 10 can create characters, craft jungle props and build their own story across the program, culminating in a showcase performance for family and friends on the final day. Think rapping parrots and sneaky crocodiles.

The venue’s onsite cafe has a dedicated children’s space stocked with rotating toys from the Moonee Valley Toy Library, plus change facilities that are fully pram and wheelchair accessible.
