Canadian Children's Theatre Co.

This lively, exciting and instructional year-round theatre production program will educate and challenge young people with an interest in the performing arts. Participants will learn and hone many acting techniques as they work on character development, scene study and thematic analysis in preparation for their final performance. At the same time, participants will develop new and significant relationships as we collaborate to develop a cohesive theatrical ensemble.

We are thrilled to announce this year’s project...Peter Pan!
Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.
Featuring the iconic songs, "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up" and "Never Never Land," and a rousing book full of magic, warmth and adventure, Peter Pan is the perfect show for the child in all of us... who dreamed of soaring high and never growing up.

Acting, comedy, drama, song and dance are all part of the training the young actors will receive from our professional staff of directors, choreographers and voice instructors in preparation for their final performances of their full-scale production at Theatre Aurora from May 20th to 24th 2027.

This dynamic, creative and instructional year-round theatre program will educate and challenge High School students with an interest in the performing arts.

This Play Edition of the Show Time for Teens program will be divided into two focuses. In the Fall months the participants will write, produce and direct their own production(s) to be performed at the studio in December. This will allow the actors to develop and showcase other talents by getting involved in the production and creative elements including writing, costuming, directing and design.

Over the first few months, participants will also study and choose the full-length play that they will perform at Theatre Aurora from May 28th to 30th 2027. Past productions include: Our Town, You Can't Take it With You, Noises Off, Clue, Sherlock Holmes and many more! The final production is sure to be a tremendous and brilliant collaboration of our young, local talent.

This dynamic, creative and instructional year-round theatre program will educate and challenge High School students with an interest in musical theatre.

We are thrilled to announce this year's production: The Drowsy Chaperone!
Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another.

With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
