Merredin You Are A Doughnut

Book Now
From the creators of the multi-award-winning The Alphabet of Awesome Science comes a brand new biological-musical-comedy-adventure ‘You Are A Doughnut’ — that explores the ins and outs of the human digestive system.
YOU are a doughnut! It’s true! YOU are a great big fleshy lump with a remarkable hole running all the way through your middle — your digestive system.
Join biology teachers Oesoph A. Gus and Dewey Dean as they embark upon an utterly brilliant all-singing, all-dancing (and all-clowning!) exploration of every twisting tube and remarkable organ — with sketches, songs, and sensational science. Along the way you’ll encounter a frenzy of enzyme – powered ping pong balls, sing along with a rainbow collection of poop puppets, and witness the weirdest poetry performance you’ve ever seen.
It’s a fast-paced variety hour, with each new digestive destination inspiring a wonderfully unusual performance. It’s a little bit gross — and a ‘hole’ lotta fun! (You might even learn ‘Science at the Fringe Award’ something…).
Tickets $10 available in Person at Central Wheatbelt Visitor Centre or online
