Schools
Our diverse programming is an opportunity for students to gain new perspectives and experiences from which they can learn. Kids can see, hear, feel, think and imagine a better tomorrow.
I Wish I Was A Mountain
Do we really need what we wish for? Written and performed by Poetry Slam Champion Toby Thompson, I Wish I Was A Mountain reimagines Hermann Hesse’s classic tale, blending rhyme, jazz, and a touch of philosophy. This show invites kids to explore big questions with curiosity and an open heart.

Our 2025 children’s Festival will feature dazzling performances from artists far and wide. From local treasures to international gems, these captivating performers will put a smile on your child’s face and make you hoot with laughter.

Testimonials
My school group LOVED the shows we attended. They were spectacular and the students were blown away!
I absolutely love this festival, my child and I look forward to it every year.
The mix of live theatre, muisc, dance and circus shows from Canada and all over the world.
