Exciting theatre about topics that matter to young people with easy access for educators to bring the issues into their classroom! !

Vince is different too, and the two become fast friends, having great adventures and just being themselves. Vince may be a little strange, but he ends up teaching Myrtle the most important lesson she’s ever learned.

But in the live gaming world, he’s famous. To the confusion and dismay of his parents, he spends more and more time in his room, disappearing into virtual reality. In order to break out of this digital world, Daniel needs to see for himself what his future holds if he remains there. This sharply crafted one-man show explores the ideas of virtual friendship, isolation, addiction competition and consequences in our hyper-digital age.

The adventures of Old Mouse and Utako demonstrate how we become stronger when joined together, and how we can create light in the darkness Performance times: February 14 and 15 at 10:00 am and 1:15 pm Beneath the Ice STUDY GUIDE TO COME David Cooper is accustomed to the luxuries of modern life, and to getting what he wants. That is, until he visits relatives up north while his mom researches the polar ice. In a remote cabin with Aanak and Paasa, no electricity or internet, and only one hour of sunshine a day, he’s in over his head. In order to survive the wilderness, David must learn to appreciate the connection between humans and nature, and discover the beauty of another world beneath the ice. Performance times: March 12 and 13 at 10:00 am and 1:15 pm Cope STUDY GUIDE TO COME In this fresh and frank Saskatchewan-made hip hop musical about finding your way, Owin must resist the temptation to take the easy way out, and Kay is torn between her love for him and her fear of his darkness. Cope follows their battles with disease, addiction, abuse and love, and reflects on whether our humanity is revealed not in the ways we thrive, but in the ways we cope.
