Isaac’s
Firetruck

A live radio theatre-style performance of Isaac’s Firetruck where our wonderful audience joins in on vocal sound effects – and creates the crayon illustrations!

A Firetruck who gets in trouble for putting out barbecues and birthday cakes, and Eloise who’s trying to save their neighborhood from interstellar danger, team up to put out an actual fire – and all ends happily.
