The pantomine will touch on issues such as anti-social behaviour, bullying, anger management, right through to self-love and self-respect.
Two Rivers Arts Council (TRAC) president Laurie Boag said the main aim of the pantomine was to teach kids that bullying wasn't okay.
"[Bullying] happens a lot and it shouldn't. I've been a victim of bullying in the workplace so this subject line really matters to me," Ms Boag said.
"If we can teach kids of a young age that it's not okay then hopefully it will improve.
"The more we can get the message out in a fun way, [the more] it helps kids to absorb it."
Ms Boag said money from the ticket price would go back into local schools to fund anti-bullying resources.
Tickets are $15 each or $50 for a family of four. Morning or afternoon tea will be provided at each performance.
Tickets must be purchased online via Eventbrite or by calling 0407 899 536. They will not be available at the door for catering reasons.
