Our Programs:

Our Young Company Musical Production will come to life in July - and our group will be putting on The Addams Family Musical. This program does require an audition and tuition for the month-long program is $875. This includes daily programming, rehearsals, set building, in-theatre rehearsals, and culminates with a Theatre Orangeville mainstage show on July 28th, 29th and 30th. Offered to youth grade 7-12, being a part of a TOV Young Company Summer production gives children the chance to see a show through from start to final curtain call and be a part of every step of the process. The cast & crew will participate in handing out flyers at the Orangeville Farmers Market and take a true ownership for their show. Auditions are happening May 13th & 14th, with a second round of auditions that will be hosted at a later date (TBD).

Our Young Company Drama presentation will go into production this August. This year we will be putting on the show PUFFS. Now, what is PUFFS you ask? Well, it's the story of a young magical boy, who lives somewhere in England, and attends a magical school... and, well - you can hopefully IMAGINE the rest. Yes, yes, due to copyright restrictions and riders for the show, we can only reference the crossover reference this show will hold... Mostly because we don't want to get sued!

Riders and references aside, this month-long Young Company Drama program will come to an end with performances of PUFFS on August 25th, 26th and 27th. With the same outline and programming as our Musical production, spots will be offered to youth from grade 7-12 and also requires auditions. Auditions are being held on May 15th & 17th and there will also be a second call for auditions at a TBD date.

Our Summer Camps are a fantastic opportunity for youth from grade 2-6 to get involved in Theatre and spend a week making new friends while learning about themselves and earning a sense of self-confidence. Operating for one week in July (10th-14th) and one week in August (14th-18th) our Summer Camps promise an exciting week where we explore scripted and unscripted work, improvisation, movement, elements of stage presentation, and character development inspired by stories and imaginations. We will build on their theatre skills through creative activities and interactive games. At the end of the week, the children will put on a final presentation to share our ideas!
