Our Impact
Testimonials
I think everyone came out of the theatre with much to think about. For most in my class this was the first time they had ever seen live theatre. It is so much better than a movie. Thank you so much.
It was an amazing visit to see talented, creative performers and be swept up in the creativity with hands-on crafts.
We had a fantastic time here. Saw Cirque Zuma Zuma with my 3 year old daughter — she was engaged for the entire hour of the performance! Lots of great activities, which are included in the price when you buy a show ticket.
