One of the most extraordinary things for me about watching theatre with my 4-year-old daughter is how her interpretation of the show really blows open my mind to the possibilities within each play. I’m often working hard to make sure I’m following the story or understanding the piece as I think the creators want me […]

Made with Love! The beautify, thoughtful attention to detail, and celebration of community in Taama, the DreamScape, and Cyclo I would like to share my thoughts on a few of the Wee Festival presentations. This is to give those of you who are still on the fence a chance to see a post show point […]

Hi, everyone! I’m Christine. I’m an actor, mostly, and the mother of 4-year-old Dorothy. During this past year, I haven’t missed taking myself to the theatre nearly as much as I’ve missed taking Dorothy. In the first three years of her life, I took her to see everything I could, and we both loved it. […]

It’s a month later and I’m still thinking about it – images from the shows dance through my mind. When my children bang sticks together at the park, I think of Knock. When they blow bubbles and spritz me with their spray bottles in the backyard, I think of Flying Hearts. When I smell bread […]

I was so grateful how relaxed the vibe was when we arrived. The actors were there, chatting with the young audience, and they felt welcome from the start. Trickery, teasing and taunting from the top through physical play aroused excitement from the young crowd who found joy in these silly but familiar games. And when […]

Les pots, du sable, le son. Un langage fabriqué que les enfants semblent comprenait. Un seul acteur sur la scène à livrer des surprises qui sont venues avec le rythme de cette pièce qui a continué de capturer l’attention de l’audience dans chaque moment. Tout sur la scène avait un ton, soit des instruments simples […]

“Qu’est-ce que c’est ça?“, la question que mon fils a répétée avec curiosité pendant la duration du spectacle. En entrant, il y avait une grande boule blanche en devant d’une petite maison, enfermer avec de la laine rouge. On a commencé avec une actrice qui est entrée dedans les petits spectateurs et puis nous avons  révélé qu’il y avait […]
