Cow On A Bus

Cow On A Bus (alternative title “The Grass is Greener”) is a fun and energetic musical play written especially for use in primary schools.

ABOUT. It is based around the theme of country and city living, and through the journey of a city boy and a country girl, explores personal perspectives, sustainable living, opportunities, differences and similarities.  All in a play with catchy original songs written right here in Australia!  Complete with recordings and backing tracks.

THEMES. Themes include the contrast between city and country living, old ways verses new ways (sustainability), literature (Fables from Aesop are used in the play), photography, creativity, technology, which can be worked into the curriculum.
