Arriving at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre to perform Diary of a Wombat

IPAY Success

January 29th, 2018

Media Release 29 January 2018

IPAY Showcase an enormous success for Mothball and her team

Monkey Baa Theatre Company’s showcase of Diary of a Wombat at the International Performing Arts for Youth (IPAY) was an enormous success with a full-house of International delegates and mesmerised audience members including 15 young cello students, their parents and their teacher.

The performance, held at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre was the only Australian work to be invited to fully showcase their work. Diary of a Wombat Director Eva Di Cesare said the performance was simply delightful.

“We had a full house filled with young audience members, delegates and peers who thought Mothball might be real!”

“There was plenty of laughter throughout the play and many wonderful comments to all of us over the next day from presenters but also from our beautiful peers.” Said Ms Di Cesare

Ms Di Cesare recognised the enormous support from the Australian Council for the Arts, Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation and other incredibly generous donors to the IPAY giving campaign without whom this incredible opportunity would not have been possible. The Monkey Baa team said they were looking forward to bringing Australia’s naughtiest Wombat back to the States for future touring as has been successfully achieved in the past with I am Jack, Hitler’s Daughter and The Unknown Soldier.
