a kids comedy show fresh from 2009 Melbourne International Comedy Festival
The Green Crusaders is a fun and interactive theatrical experience for primary school children, and it's available to come to you.
The children’s comedy hit of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival last year, The Green Crusaders brings all the magic of theatre to you in a colourful, classic chase story filled with original songs, physical comedy, silly rhyme and pantomime.
Created by three of Melbourne's funniest professional actors and improvisers, the show follows Pip and Finn who are happily doing their bit for the environment, until they discover someone is interfering with their Green Scheme. They need the students' help to discover who it is before it’s too late!
The Green Crusaders is a full theatrical experience that includes an environmental message. It can be linked to both drama and environmental units, or be enjoyed as an entertaining, intelligent show.

Suitable for kids P-6 who are at any level of environmental awareness.

Available now to come to your school!
