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, Anne of Green Gables! Based on L. M. Montgomery’s beloved Canadian classic, this production is a warm and light-hearted story focusing on Anne Shirley’s quest for ‘kindred spirits’. As an uneducated, poor, orphaned outsider with red hair, Anne is greeted with skepticism and discrimination when she arrives to make her new home in Avonlea. Her irrepressible joy and zest for life, quickly earn Anne the respect, admiration and love of even the town’s most hard-lined cynics. Be part of the magic that Anne creates as she uses her charm and imagination to win the hearts, not only of all of the unique characters in Avonlea, but of the entire audience.

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 23rd to 25th 2025.

This dynamic, creative and instructional year-round theatre program will educate and challenge High School students 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 performances.

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 31st to June 2nd 2025. Past productions include: 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.
