2025 - Bubble Boy — Queanbeyan Players

2025 – Bubble Boy

The first show for 2025 was Bubble Boy, staged at Belconnen Community Theatre Centre.

Bubble Boy follows Jimmy Livingston, a boy deathly allergic to germs who is kept in a decontaminated bubble room for his own protection. Jimmy’s life is turned upside down when Chloe moves in next door and his eyes are opened to how big the work is. Despite Jimmy’s disapproving, conservative mother, the two strike up a friendship…and something more? When it’s revealed Choe is getting married in Niagara Falls, Jimmy hatches a plan. Determined to tell Chloe how he feels and experience the world, Jimmy escapes his bubble room in a new-fangled bubble suit, full of naivete and optimism. Along the way, Jimmy meets a cast of quirky characters and unlikely obstacles in his way.

Bubble Boy is a coming-of-age story full of love, laughs and self-discovery.
