About
Much loved Australian young person’s author Alison Lester’s book Are We There Yet? comes to life through music in this brand new ASO performance. Students and teachers will be taken on an adventure with Grace and her family as they follow their trip around Australia.
At times funny, at times heartwarming, this new production with music by Adelaide composer David John Lang shines a light on the diversity of our nation, our amazing flora and fauna and the incredible landscapes unique to our island home.
