Treehouse grows taller on stage in Geelong

The stage adaptation of The 78-Storey Treehouse is coming to Geelong Performing Arts Centre on March 2-3.

Andy and Terry’s treehouse just keeps on growing. With another 13 levels now added, it’s got a Scribbletorium, a high-security potato chip storage facility guarded by one very angry duck and an open-air movie theatre.

The team behind the hit adaptations of The 13-, 26-, and 52-Storey Treehouses has come together once again to bring Andy Griffiths’ and Terry Denton’s bestseller The 78-Storey Treehouse to life on stage for a national tour.

The best-selling, award-winning series of books by much-loved duo Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton has inspired children across Australia to let their imaginations run wild; The 78-Storey Treehouse book was Australia’s fastest ever selling book on release.

The stage adaptations have also been incredibly successful throughout Australia, including The 52-Storey Treehouse winning the 2015 Sydney Theatre Award for Best Production for Children.

In this adaptation, characters Andy and Terry are going to be famous.

The legendary Mr Big Shot has arrived to make a Hollywood blockbuster on the treehouse.

But when his first step is to fire Andy and replace him with a monkey – well, a gibbon named Mel Gibbon – the battle is on.

Will the treehouse blockbuster ever get made? Who will win the battle of Andy and Terry? And why are those mysterious spy cows turning up everywhere?

The 78-Storey Treehouse runs for 60 minutes with no interval and is suitable for children six and up.

Showing on March 2 at 6.30pm, March 3 at 12pm, 2.30pm and 5.30pm at The Playhouse, Geelong Performing Arts Centre. Bookings can be made at gpac.org.au or by phoning 5225 1200.
