Stuart Little at The Playhouse Theatre

The little mouse from New York is coming to The Playhouse on 9 April, just in time for the April school holidays.

The Hobart Repertory Theatre Society (Rep) is bringing to life the magical tale of Stuart Little, a mouse born into an ordinary New York family. How will brother George and Snowbell the cat cope with the new addition? What adventures will they all get up to?

This family-friendly production will take audiences on a journey across the American countryside as Stuart embarks on a hero’s quest to find his fortune and his dearest friend, Margalo the bird. It’s a heartwarming story of growing up, leaving home for the first time, and discovering oneself.

Hobart local and Director, Heather Heron will bring an authentic New York feel to the show having lived and worked in the city for several years.

“I’ve acted at Hobart Rep in the past, but this is my first directing role with the company and I’m excited that it’s Stuart Little,” she said

“I am very passionate about children’s theatre in general, and how it engages children and takes them on a journey through the characters,” Heather said.

A writer, director and actor, Heather has directed Therapy Hour and Perfect Timing for Manhattan Repertory Theatre’s One Act Festival in New York City. She directed The Love Potion for Cabrini One Act Play Festival and Help wanted: Pirates! for Magnet Theatre in New York City. Locally she may be known for her direction of the musical Dragon Girl for Bagdad Primary School.

The production features Abbey Udovicic, Aiden Cruise, Anita Planchon, Jemima Walters, Jerome Phelps, Louise Stubs, Poppy Lennon, Taylah Lowry, Scott Lieonart, and River Davies as Stuart Little. A talented cast of local actors who bring the story to life with energy and enthusiasm.
