From the same company that brought us Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny and Swimmy, Frederick & Inch by Inch comes an amazing stage production featuring three wonderful stories by award-winning children’s book illustrator and writer, Eric Carle. The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Little Cloud and The Mixed-Up Chameleon are retold on stage with large-scale puppets in vibrant shades, an evocative musical score and the magic of ‘black light.’ “... utterly charming.... Children applauded, wiggled with glee and laughed loud and long. Carle’s simple stories are perfectly delightful.” — Montreal Gazette

Don’t let the classical title scare you. This is contemporary comedy at its best as two actors with supersonic energy take you through a “totally brilliant stage production...” (The Herald). This re-telling of the ancient Greek myth is hugely physical and relentlessly funny. This dynamic duo makes the Waterfront Theatre their playground, gleefully recreating the epic tale of Jason’s perilous journey on the Argo in search of the Golden Fleece, so he can claim his rightful throne. Using both action figures and their own physical ingenuity, these swashbucklers barrel their way through dozens of characters at breakneck speed, battling mischievous sea monsters, harrowing harpies, a villainous uncle and, ultimately, the challenge of their lives.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND—Carousel Theatre’s hit production returns after an award-winning sold-out run in 2010. Arnold Lobel’s well-loved characters hop, sing and dance their way from the page to the stage! A Year With Frog and Toad follows the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, these two great friends plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way, including an important one about friendship and rejoicing in the qualities that make each of us different and special. “…a sweet treat for the very young and the young at heart.” – Vancouver Courier

Wolfie, Syd, Barry and Harriet invite you into their magical world where anything is possible when you use your imagination. Whether it’s The Tortoise and the Hare or The Boy Who Cried Wolf, everyone knows at least one of Aesop’s classic fables. In this spellbinding production, storytellers use song, dance and drama to bring these famous fables to life. Youngsters will enjoy discovering life’s big lessons in this delightful revue.

Carousel Theatre presents a fresh take on this classic story. The Wizard of Oz offers an inspiring account of the central character, Dorothy—a feisty heroine who travels a long way to find where her home truly is. Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto as they travel to the Land of Oz in this delightful adaptation, based on the 1939 MGM musical.
