The show is full of humour, action, and fun twists on a classic tale.

What Makes It Special:

• Interactive & Engaging: DuffleBag’s performances aren’t your typical theatre — audience participation is encouraged! Students may be invited on stage to help shape the story as it unfolds.

• Fun for All Ages: With humour and storytelling that appeals to a broad range of ages, this show keeps young audiences entertained and curious.

• Duration: Approximately 50–60 minutes, ideal for students’ attention spans and school schedules.

For the first time, the Theatre announced its first-ever March Break Theatre Program in early 2026.

This program was designed to allow students to flex their acting muscles while having fun, rehearsing a short play to perform for family and friends. This is the perfect cold-weather cure for any kid who's been bitten by the acting bug and is just itching to get on stage!

We are excited to see this program grow and evolve in the years to come.
