Latrobe City’s coordinator performing arts and venues, Kathleen Roberts, said that the show was coming to Latrobe City as part of Regional Arts Victoria’s national tour.
"This delightful production is by ‘Playing with Snails’ a new company focused on creating quality children’s theatre. After nearly two years of preparation, this visually dynamic show is sure to delight young and old alike.
