Our Impact
Testimonials
Our students had never been to Granville Island before. The joy on the faces of the kids at watching live theatre was priceless and they had a lot of fun in the Activity Village! We really enjoyed our entire day.
It fits Vancouver’s spring as naturally as the tulips, the daffodils and the cherry trees and it would be hard to imagine the city without it.
The festival represents an attitude toward children’s theatre, a recognition that it is just as important as any form of theatre. They understand that just because they have a knee-high audience, it doesn’t mean you condescend to them, or give them anything less than artistic excellence.
