Gertie is great at being THE LITTLEST YAK. Only, Gertie doesn’t want to be LITTLE she wants to grow UP!

LAStheatre’s adaptation of the award-winning book by Lu Fraser and Kate Hindley, will delight with beautiful puppets, catchy tunes and an uplifting tale of self-acceptance to be enjoyed by the whole family.

Gertie is great at being THE LITTLEST YAK, with the CURLIEST, WHIRLIEST wool and the GRIPPIEST of hooves for clip-clopping up cliffs. Only, Gertie doesn’t want to be the littlest. She’s in a rush to grow up and be just like THE BIG YAKS. But what if there are some things that only a GERTIE can do?

A gorgeous story celebrating YOU being perfect…just the way you are, and a YAKTASTIC adventure sure to get you in the festive spirit.

And don’t worry if you haven’t read The Littlest Yak, you can buy a copy of this and other books in the series with your tickets. Ready to collect when you come to see the show.
