Testimonials
I love the atmosphere — the Activity Village is great and all the families pouring out of various shows with big smiles, excited to talk about their theatre experience. It’s just the best. My children and I look forward to it every year.
Its ground-breaking multidisciplinary mix of theatre, music, dance, circus, puppetry, and storytelling has inspired similar events throughout Canada and abroad.
My school group LOVED the shows we attended. They were spectacular and the students were blown away!
