quintessentially Australian picture book.

Latrobe City Council’s acting coordinator, performing arts and venues, Eloisa Tripodi, said that children were encouraged to wear pyjamas and bring their teddies to the performance.

"This is such a well-loved story that we want the audience to get right into the spirit of the show by dressing up and bringing their favourite soft toy. This production is a delightful musical comedy, imaginatively told by four performers playing shearers, dogs and sheep.

"Shaun is the new sheep shearer in Shaggy Gully. Since shearing is such hard work, all the other shearers have sheep dogs to help them, but not Shaun. His partner is Pete, a sheep- sheep! The other shearers in the shed are not happy with Shaun and his sheep-sheep.

"Following rejection by the shearers and their dogs, Shaun and Pete set up their own Shearing Salon in town where they are inundated with woolly clients, who delight in Shaun’s styling prowess," Ms Tripodi said.

"As well as being a funny and engaging performance, this show explores the challenges and rewards of being an individual, and will be a lasting tribute to honouring your own spirit and strength, whilst working with the flock!" Ms Tripodi concluded.

Pete the Sheep will be performed on Monday 28 July 2014 from 6pm. Call the box office on 5176 3333 to book your tickets and don’t forget to wear your pyjamas and bring your teddy.
