Bedtime stories with R.A. Spratt — live!

When
  • Friday 17 April from 2pm to 3pm
Cost

Child: $10.00Accompanying adult: Free

In this whirlwind of storytelling, R.A. Spratt will perform a brand-new story for her popular podcast Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt.  

Be part of the live audience — every cheer, laugh and hacking cough will be recorded and broadcast around the world for thousands (perhaps millions) to hear. R.A. will also tell the stories behind the stories, including how she came to do the podcast in the first place (hint: it involves bacon hair). She’ll even sing you a song (don’t worry, it will be short) and most likely leap off a piece of furniture (we can’t get her to stop doing that). 

This is a fun family show for audiences of all ages. Kids will laugh out loud, parents will snortle (snort laugh), and even the grumpiest grandparent will have a giggle. 

R.A.’s books will be available for purchase, and she will be signing them after the show. 

All children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event. 

This event is part of the Macquarie Street Adventure. Head to the State Library of NSW website to find out more about all the fun activities happening on Friday 17 April.
