Once there was a boy who was always looking up. He loved the stars so much that he dreamed of having one as a friend. But how do you catch a star? Join him on a magical adventure as he reaches for the impossible and discovers that sometimes, following your dreams can lead somewhere wonderful.

Based on Oliver Jeffers’ beloved book, How to Catch a Star is a visually stunning, wordless production from award-winning Irish theatre company Branar. Combining enchanting puppetry, spellbinding storytelling, and a magical original score, this charming show brings the much-loved story to life on stage.
