The Lion Inside

In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold, stood a mighty flat rock, all craggy and old. And under that rock in a tinyful house, lived the littlest, quietest, meekest brown mouse.

Fed up of being ignored, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest, bossiest people are scared sometimes ... and even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion!

Based on the award-winning book, LAStheatre present The Lion Inside for 4 to 7-year olds. A story about confidence, self-esteem, and a shy little mouse who sets out on a journey to find his roar.
