Rain Rain

“Amazing – awe-inspiring and thoroughly engaging. Beautiful and mesmerising. Thank you so much”. Lisa Boyes, Victoria Education Centre

Patience and Bird are waiting for rain in the dusty, dry heat of the American Dust Bowl when Clanky Jane arrives with her ‘Cloud-O-Matic’ rain making machine.  Featuring captivating visual effects, puppetry, live music and a sprinkling of water, Rain Rain will immerse your children in a safe and engaging adventure.

This intimate show for just 6 children is specifically designed for audiences of children on the autistic spectrum.  The actors are highly skilled at creating a welcoming and calm space where time is given to accommodate the particular needs of individual children.  Parents can relax safe in the knowledge that Bamboozle has a well-earned world-wide reputation for creating theatre for children on the spectrum.


About Bamboozle’s shows for autistic audiences:

These performances are intimate shows for a maximum group size of 6 children accompanied by their teachers, carers, or family group.

Keeping audiences small allows our experienced Bamboozle performers to give each child focused, personalised attention. Our team are highly experienced in adapting to, and interacting with, children and young people who have a variety of complex and differing needs. Where there’s a need for 1:1 with the young people, we will advise 4 young people attend.


What you need to know:

Recommended age range: 8-16 years

Performances: We’re able to provide up to 3 – 4 performances throughout the day, each show for a maximum of 6 children.
