Who Sank the Boat? is directed by Dave Brownand and features actors Paul Blackwell, Eileen Darley, Heather Frahn and Vanessa Ellis.

"Who Sank the Boat? is a treat for the young and young at heart," Ms Clancy said.
"The imaginative production uses a host of inventive theatrics including puppetry, operetta, mime, song and dance, and live music that combine beautifully for a memorable and enchanting theatre experience."
