The Backyard Bard is a Christian theatre company that specialises in Biblical Storytelling.
Our mission is to help all people to engage with the incredible stories contained in God's Word
- to enjoy them, to share them and most importantly, to come to know the God that is revealed by them.
We are passionately dedicated to taking God's stories to a world that increasingly has never heard them.
Since 2002, The Backyard Bard has had the privilege of bringing the power of Biblical Storytelling to churches, universities, schools and arts festivals across Australia
