🎭 The Lunchbox Theatre Tree Show uses song, dance, drama and interactive storytelling to explore the importance of indigenous trees, the threats they face and why we all have a part to play in looking after our natural world.

After each performance, children get involved in planting an indigenous tree at their venue, a tree they can nurture and watch grow for years to come. 🌳

🎭 Today, 1 July 2026, Lunchbox Theatre turns 19!

For 19 years, we’ve had the privilege of using theatre, dance, storytelling and play to reach children, families and communities across the Garden Route and beyond.

What makes this birthday so special is realising that Lunchbox now spans generations. Children who joined our programmes 19 years ago are adults today, and some now have children of their own attending our shows, joining workshops and becoming part of the Lunchbox family.

That is the power of the arts. It reaches places that words alone often cannot. It breaks through barriers, opens hearts, sparks conversations and plants seeds that can keep growing for generations.

To every facilitator, actor, supporter, partner, parent, child, donor and friend who has been part of this journey: thank you. You have helped build something beautiful.

Now we look ahead to the next 19 years, and the next 190. 🌱

Become a Lunchbox Legacy Legend and help us keep the magic moving, one child, one show, one story at a time.

Happy 19th Birthday, Lunchbox Theatre! 🎉

The event took place on Youth Day, 16 June, at the Scarab Open Air Theatre, with multiple speakers talking about the beauty and power of nature, and how we are all interconnected.

It was a fabulous event, bringing a whole lot of nature enthusiasts together, with a high-energy whale show performed for hundreds of kids.

A huge shout-out to Sarah Mackie and Project U-BuMama Environmental Education for creating such a special celebration of our ocean heritage.
