Lessons in Becoming a Lioness

What does it take to become a Lioness?
Em, Dee and Sharni are football crazy. They’ve got their kits fitted, their training underway and their eyes firmly set on Wembley. But when Reggie, the Lionesses’ support dog, goes missing just before the World Cup final, they find themselves with a very important job to do.
As they race to find Reggie and get the Lionesses onto the pitch, they’ll face challenges they never expected. Their search takes them from the stands to the park, through the Lionesses’ dressing room and right into the middle of the World Cup final. Becoming a Lioness takes more than scoring goals, but can Em, Dee and Sharni step forward and show what it really means to be part of a team?
_Lessons in Becoming a Lioness_ is a playful, high-energy opera packed with football, music and plenty of opportunities to join in, written by Hannah Khalil, composed by Oleta Haffner and directed by Nel Crouch. Get ready to chant and cheer and discover what happens when you step onto the pitch.
