The Hive Theatre Festival is the largest children’s festival in the world. It is a festival for the children by the children! It is spread across two months where around 500 children perform in 52 varied performances of 5 plays.

‘Alivebrary’, is a play about Librarian Ms. Pinto and her young, devoted readers, Raya and Ro, scrambling to save their local library from Bob aka Demolition Dan, who wants to clear out half the books for a new AI smart lab. As the three try to sort the books, magical characters from the books emerge to warn them and inspire a plan.

Bring all your friends, family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, the whole building and the whole community to cheer them on!
