Our Impact
Testimonials
Its ground-breaking multidisciplinary mix of theatre, music, dance, circus, puppetry, and storytelling has inspired similar events throughout Canada and abroad.
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.
…an event that heightens an awareness of music and art in a natural, ideally unspoken manner. When they’re having this much fun, why tell them it’s good for them?
