Welcome to our website!
2010 is a year of magical puppetry experiences from all of us at Spare Parts Puppet Theatre.
The Velveteen Rabbit goes straight to the heart of puppetry with toys magically coming to life through the transforming power of belief, imagination and love…and a sprinkling of fairy magic.
Join Giraffe, Elephant, Penguin and many other animal friends in The Night Zoo as Jamie takes us to a magical playground of friendship and imagination.
Spellbound, inspired by Stravinsky’s Petrushka, will be puppetry at its most magical! An extraordinary adventure about a marionette’s quest for freedom from a Magician’s mysterious world of tricks and illusion.
Noriko Nishimoto directs The Bunyip of Berkley’s Creek, adapted from the Jenny Wagner book, capturing the magic and mystery of Australia while Blueback, adapted from the Tim Winton novel, will spread underwater magic to regional Western Australia.
In October, the world premiere of The Birthday, a celebration of the magic power of birthdays will be unwrapped in all its joyous glory while The Arrival continues to tour the world!
Workshops in puppet making, performing with puppets, our partnership with Edith Cowan University, amazing festival and event performances, our foyer display – all magical puppetry experiences we invite you and your family to enjoy with us.
It is our wish that our artistic program for 2010 exceeds your expectations and that the magic of puppetry will help the young stay young and the old grow young forever.
Best wishes

Spare Parts Presents
The Night Zoo
In the middle of the city,
In the middle of the night,
Something is about to happen
in Jamie’s room…
From her window high above the city Jamie dreams of making friends with animals, but her Mum and Dad won’t let her have a pet in the apartment.
Tonight, whilst the rest of the city sleeps, Jamie is getting a visit from the Night Zoo. Meerkat and elephant, orangutan and penguin, thorny devil and giraffe… it’s going to be a jungle up there!
Go wild with the wildlife of The Night Zoo as we join Jamie for a night on which her dreams might just come true.
The Night Zoo is brought to magical life with puppets, dance and animation… and a light sprinkling of manure.
- In news just to hand, we’re excited to announce two special puppet making workshops to compliment this touring season of The Night Zoo. Places are limited, so don’t hesitate to contact us on 9335 5044 to secure your spot.
