Calling all teachers and principals! The October 2nd school matinee for our upcoming production of 1939 is completely sold out. In response to the high demand, we have added a third school matinee performance on October 9th in addition to the previously scheduled performance on September 25th.   1939 follows the story of a group of Indigenous students at a fictional Residential School as they set out to put on a production of All's Well That Ends Well. Through the power of hope and resilience, the students make Shakespeare's bitter-sweet comedy defiantly their own. The content of the play is appropriate and suitable for students. We recommend the play for grades seven and above and we have a study guide available for teachers.   Student tickets are $25 (plus taxes). For every ten student tickets sold, we are pleased to offer one complimentary ticket for teachers. Tickets are selling fast! Take advantage of the opportunity to see this essential work with your students.   Curriculum connections include English, Indigenous languages, First Nations, Métis, & Inuit studies, the arts, social studies, Canadian & world studies, health & physical education, and social sciences & humanities. Global competencies include collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and learning to learn/self-awareness.   Please contact Manuel Chaves (mchaves@canadianstage.com) for more information and to book tickets for you and your students. 

Last year we celebrated 40 years of Dream in High Park, selling out performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream 🎂 This year, the tradition continues with another one of Shakespeare's timeless masterpieces: Hamlet! . . . 📸: Video by Mallory Brown
