School Performances

End the Year In Style

thumb_kidsscreaming Educators, if you're close to Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton, Mississauga or Milton (or even further afield), what better way than to end the calendar year and ease yourselves, and your children, into the holiday season? We are offering two unique performances of our pantomime Aladdin specifically designed for schools, groups and clubs. These special educational performances will be held on the following days:

Thursday December 20 @ 10am
Friday December 21 @ 10am

What's Special About School Performances?

Following the performance of our magical and hilarious rags-to-riches story of Aladdin, we will break for your group to eat lunch (snacks will be available for purchase during this time but your children should bring their own lunches). After this, select members of our cast and crew will return to the stage and talk to your children about their acting experiences and what it is like to work in theatre and put on a production such as Aladdin. We will cover topics such as:

Writing, Casting, Producing and Directing
Staging - including set design, props, video, lighting and sound
Acting - covering topics such as auditioning, learning lines and rehearsing

What Did Teachers Say Last Year?

We had some great feedback from teachers following the December 2011 production of Cinderella, here's what a few of them had to say:

We had a fabulous time today, and yes, I will be first to book next year... Again, kudos for a great performance... great humour.
