"The English Bobbies were an absolute hit with audiences! The performers were incredibly entertaining and engaging! I would highly recommend them for any event! World Class!"

The 2018 Commonwealth Games

"We were looking for a way to liven up our local street parade and booked The Lollypop Ladies. The Lollypop ladies were a big hit with the crowds and added that perfect unique edge the parade lacked. The performers generously went above and beyond to interact with the crowd and stopped for many photos after the parade, something we were incredibly grateful for. A pleasure to work with and artistically unique -I'd recommend this world-class troupe for any public event!"Douglas Shire Council 

THE MASK FAMILY are a suite of full-face, non-verbal, accessible, inclusive and magical roving mask theatre acts that connect directly to your audience. They are a heart-warming exploration of the joy of human interaction and the incredible power of how a simple act of kindness, and authentic connection, can transform a person's life. Highly visual, interactive, non-intrusive and non-language dependent, this unique roving theatre transcends age, language and culture barriers. 

 

Performed by an ensemble of 10 internationally renowned and critically acclaimed Australian physical theatre performers, they are brilliantly realised, utilising many decades of live performance experience. Acts are available separately or in combination and work most effectively as a trio. Available throughout Australia, New Zealand & Asia for Festivals, Shopping Centres, Product Launches, Parades, Nightclubs, Corporate Events and Company Christmas Parties.

All acts have in-built sound systems playing music that can be custom-made to specific events, making the shows more accessible for audiences enabling joy, fun, engagement, laughter and play! For Example, German Theme, French Theme, Easter, or Christmas...to name a few.

"The Mask Family were a huge hit at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Public Viewing Events (Race Walk, Cycling Time Trial and Cycling Road Race). Many spectators stopped the 'tourists' for happy snaps and enjoyed a chin wag. At the same time, the Lollypop Ladies had the crowds' laughing and hopping' their way through the events, providing much entertainment for both the young and old (including myself)!"
