T H E   5 F T   G I A N T

In the magical land of Fara Way, there is a new adventure everyday!   

Armed with a creative imagination and magic chalk, Shannon and best friend Twitch are always finding new and wonderous quests!  The dynamic duo are as different as chalk and cheese, but their differences are what make them oh so very unique!  

Things in Fara Way have never been fairer… that is until, a Giant moves in next door!   Standing at a huge 5ft tall, they can’t possible battle this Giant alone… and need your help!  


Are you brave like Shannon and smart like Twitch?  Wherever you fit, they need your wit!

So why not grab your magic chalk and brave the Giant’s door as you help Shannon and Twitch see what is lurking behind that Giant door… as they soon find out that things aren’t always what they seem.

Your adventure awaits with Shannon and Twitch, and this one is going to be GIANT!

Join Shannon, Twitch and a Giant too – for a thrilling adventure, just for you!

Written by Danielle Aquilina, The 5ft Giant celebrates diversity, imagination and creativity in this fun, magic filled production for the entire family.
