ABOUT us
UAE stories for UAE kids.
Theatre for children inspires, represents, and educates. Dune supports the curriculum every teacher is working to deliver. At the heart of every production sit the moral and social curriculum and the UAE national agenda.

Dune Productions both move and exceed the standard.​​

We bring the theatre to you.

How many shows can you perform in one day?
Our shows are between 45 and 60 minutes in duration. We have found that by starting at approximately 8 am, we can successfully perform 5 shows in one day.
What are the minimum and maximum audience sizes?
Our minimum audience size is 200, and our maximum is the capacity of your auditorium. We are happy to discuss this based on the number of performances you request. Although many auditoriums can hold vast numbers of students, we have found schools prefer their younger children to watch in smaller groups. We have also had great success with entire primary schools in one performance – a big audience creates a wonderful atmosphere for everyone.
What are your shows based on?
Each and every Dune Productions show is bespoke. We spend many hours researching our topics, working alongside other teachers and many school leaders to find the most relevant and pressing issues to present. We then create a story and songs appropriate and suited to our UAE audiences.
How are your shows relevant to children in the UAE?
Teaching children from all over the world is complex – stories that we grew up with, even traditional stories, are often unknown to members of our class. That is why we start from scratch. We work through the Social and Moral Education curriculum, drawing on the school's Values and Wellness agendas and ensuring our production values are as technologically advanced as the UAE aspires to be.
What are the payment terms and options?
There is no deposit or hidden fee. Pricing is charged per pupil; teachers attend free, and 5% UAE VAT is included. Payment can be made by online card payment (a small processing fee applies), school cheque, or bank transfer.

If your school requires a purchase order or vendor registration, please complete this before the performance date. Schools paying from their budget can contact us to discuss discount options, and full payment terms are included in the contract.
