The children are the stars of the show
Interactive, curriculum-linked theatre that gets every kid up, laughing and learning — in schools, kinders and libraries right across Victoria.
About us
Charming young audiences for over fifteen years
Carp Productions is a Melbourne-based theatre-in-education company. For more than fifteen years we’ve brought our own distinct, playful brand of performance to children all over Victoria — encouraging them to explore storytelling, drama, confidence and a genuine love of learning.
Every show is interactive by design. The children aren’t just watching — they’re part of the story.

Loved by teachers and tiny audiences alike
What can I say except THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful production. I was so excited to see what you were going to present to our grade 1’s and your show absolutely blew them all away and ourselves too! It engaged such little people and it really gave them something to talk about.
— Amanda Dessman – Year One Teacher, Australian International Academy
The staff and students really enjoyed your production. The students were heavily engaged and loved following the stories being told. They loved writing and sharing their favourite part of the play. The students are studying Fairytales this Term – they definitely got an insight to a wide range of different Fairytales.
It’s been such a pleasure to work with such friendly, flexible, professional and smooth running productions and people over the years.
— Tracey – School Librarian
A fabulous experience for our children bringing story book characters to life and including them in the production!
