Acknowledgment of country

Polyglot acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and create, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. For more than 65,000 years, children and families have created and played here, and we are grateful to make our art on this country too.

David’s been working in children’s theatre for over 40 years – he’s performed for hundreds of thousands of kids and filled them with laughter and cheers!

One of his first shows was called Juicy Fruit Follies, where he juiced a whole lot of oranges. And over the years he’s played so many characters he’s lost count of costume changes.

From Mr McGee and The Biting Flea and a uke-playing Belinda the cow. At Patch Theatre they turned Pamela Allen‘s stories into an all singing musical show!

David loves working at Polyglot where kids play a ginormous part. Their creative ideas, their curious brains, it’s kids’ art that fills up our hearts!
