such large-scale production values is an exciting event <strong>and</strong> one we wanted<br />
our Gecko audiences to experience. Bringing this type of production to life,<br />
<strong>and</strong> to <strong>Perth</strong>, requires <strong>the</strong> support of a whole host of people, companies <strong>and</strong><br />
organisations. Barking Gecko is proud to be a presenting partner for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perth</strong><br />

visiting local schools <strong>and</strong> collaborating with national <strong>and</strong> international artists,<br />
Gecko thrives on <strong>the</strong> challenge of creating our own <strong>the</strong>atre that engages young<br />
people <strong>and</strong>, simultaneously, broadens <strong>the</strong>ir underst<strong>and</strong>ing of <strong>the</strong> world. Since<br />
1991 Barking Gecko has earned an international reputation for excellence <strong>and</strong><br />
