“The Holiday” or “It’s More Fun With Friends“
Scary Hairy Fairies ~ Fairies have little eyes they use them to look at birds in the skies Fairies have little mouths they use them to eat their little fairy pies
The Holiday poem or “This Woud be More Fun With Friends”
Scene 1 ~ we find ourselves sitting around having lunch at home; and we are very bored.
Rehearsing our moves for It’s More Fun With Friends at Honeybee Creative Theatrical Thursday All Abilities Theatre. Get in touch if you think this might be your scene 🐝🎭
This playful environment helps participants relax, feel safe to take risks, and enjoy the process without pressure. The laughter we share becomes just as valuable as the skills we build—it creates friendships, boosts confidence, and makes every Thursday something to look forward to.
At Honeybee Creative, we believe drama isn’t just about performance—it’s about joy. Our Thursday group is full of laughter, play, and imagination. We get silly, try out funny characters, use costumes and props, and sometimes end up in unexpected (and hilarious) situations!

APRA Art Music Awards Winner 2022
For excellence in music education
APRA Judges Report
“A thoroughly deserved winner who has championed the creative development of people with disabilities in the Gympie, QLD region and beyond. Moving to working online during (Covid) lockdowns, Honeybee Creative hosted their song writing and music creation sessions successfully through online mediums. The facilitation work by the faculty to take the creative thoughts, desires and actions of neurologically diverse people and lay it out in a form that everyone can understand is commendable. It is great to have this type of program operating within a regional area and the project outcomes demonstrate why art and music is so valuable for the community”.
