For schools & educators
We believe theatre is a powerful tool. It dramatizes and contextualizes the world. It invites us to walk in someone else’s shoes and see the world through their eyes.
As such, we are committed to bringing high-quality, professional theatre to the most important people in our community:Â young people.
We do this in three ways: our Academy programming, our school performances, and our Theatre for Young Audiences productions.

Theatre for Young Audiences
We bring a fantastic, professional show right to your school.
From climate change to bullying (and beyond!), our Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA)Â shows use live performance to explore socially-based issues.
Performing arts education is essential in the development of students' social, intellectual, physical and emotional growth.
— Ontario Elementary Curriculum
Every show draws upon the Ontario curriculum—plus: we hire educators to create study packages so that you and your classroom can get the most out of the experience.
