Massey Madness
WHAT’S UP?
Massey Theatre is hosting the Massey Madness Family Arts Fest on Saturday, Feb. 10 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
The theatre is presenting an all-inclusive day of arts activities and live theatre performances – a great way to introduce children to the arts and to spend time having fun as a family (appropriately enough, on Family Day weekend).
There will be free creative family activities in the theatre lobby and Plaskett Gallery from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and there will also be ticketed performances in the theatre.
WHAT SHOWS CAN I SEE?
At 11 a.m., it’s a theatre production for children (and their adults). Axis Theatre is presenting Th’owxiya: The Hungry Feast Dish, a play that retells the First Nations story The Wild Woman of the Woods, through mask, music and physical theatre.
At 2 p.m., there’s a youth-focused theatre production by Capricorn Theatre. Confessions of a Grocery Store Clerk is a musical comedy that follows the lives of five young women who work at the grocery store. (Some mature subject matter is involved.)
At 7 p.m., you can enjoy Cause & Effect Circus with their show The New Conformity. Cause & Effect are known for their social commentary packed with high-level circus skills. They’re joined by magician Travis Bernhardt, who blends his particular brand of sardonic humour with magic tricks.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The creative activities in the lobby and gallery are free. For the shows, individual tickets are $25 regular, $10 for youth and $5 for children 12 and under (plus service charges). You can also buy a full-day pass for all the shows for $35 regular, $20 youth and $10 for children 12 and under.
