My Superpower is a high quality production of children’s musical theatre that brings emotional resilience centre stage.
Following two successful tours in NSW in 2021 and 2022, we’ve witnessed first hand how ‘My Superpower’ resonates with young audiences, especially in the aftermath of the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires, floods, and COVID-19.
The show follows a spirited young frog called Ginger and her fellow dancing singing friends as she navigates her way through the ups and downs of life. It features four actors, puppets, animation and a variety of original songs from genres including surf-rock, hip-hop, dub reggae, folk and 70’s disco.
Excerpts from the show
Songs in the show and emotional resilience program
You can hear the songs from the show on the album ‘Inside a Star’ on Spotify.
Ginger learns about consequences, befriends a very grumpy spider, survives the stinky slimy smelly swamp and has the grit to face her mistakes and make things right. Her confidence grows when she finally finds her Super Power helped along the way by her beloved Great Auntie Fifi.

I loved the experience, the My Super Power performance was amazing and very well written and performed. I loved hearing Sarah’s mindfulness presentation and the interactive exercises for kids and adults where we learned the different techniques was wonderful.

We loved the whole show and thought that the characters, costumes and message was very well thought through and my favourite part was when Ginger’s conscience made her realise that she had done wrong and she tried her hardest to fix it and not just let it go or give up. My youngest loved that the spider was so cool and funny.

Relatable and memorable emotions portrayed in characters that are accessible and good techniques to managing stress. Well done all a great show! Very much needed in the Valley for our children!

To all involved in the play today – it was brilliant. I felt privileged to witness kids thoroughly engrossed and enjoying the play whilst incidentally learning so much.

My Super Power warms the heart, chocks the throat and flows the tears. children and adults alike remember to breath, grieve and release…well done all and totally professional… a fantastic local performance, engaging, colourful and focused on the recovery of our beautiful little ones.

I took 3 year old Georgia to see My Super Power starring Ginger the Frog and she absolutely adored the whole show. A show about being brave, kind and resilient is just what we both needed. Georgia was particularly excited about putting her “big pants” on and fell asleep to “inside a star” the night following the show.
The show has vibrant visuals, engaging storytelling, colourful characters, and plenty of interactive fun. Children delve into a safe space to explore their feelings and practice evidence-based tools, building confidence. It’s an emotional ride for caregivers too!

My Superpower is part of The Ginger the Frog Emotional Resilience Program.
The excitement of live musical theatre is an introduction to the star of the show, Ginger, and The Ginger the Frog Emotional Resilience Program. It features a nine-part digital series for schools and home use, reinforcing the lessons from the show in a fun, interactive way. This part of the program has been in development since 2016, and after being trialed in schools, festivals and organisations has gone through a series of developmental stages. You can check out our story here.
Ginger’s journey beautifully instills the values of empathy and courage, validating children’s feelings and gives them a voice to express their needs. This empowering experience encourages kids to embrace their emotions and tackle challenges head-on with confidence.
Next steps…
But we’re just getting started! We’re thrilled to elevate the entire program to new heights, transforming the theatre show into an even bigger, better, and more enchanting experience than ever before! Right now, we’re actively seeking funding to bring Ginger back to the stage, ready to educate and inspire young hearts and minds in venues big and small.
Our vision
Helping our young children create a strong foundation of emotional resilience, healing past traumas for both children and their caregivers. This growth creates a ripple effect as they share their joy and magic with the world.
The Ginger the Frog Emotional Resilience Program exemplifies this journey, guiding children through emotional learning and instilling healthy habits in their daily lives, with creativity and empathy at its core. When children feel confident and joyful, they thrive. In an open-hearted state, they become their most powerful and receptive selves.
