The Super Secret Subway Society premieres at FringeKids!
(TORONTO, ON – MAY 28, 2012) The Super Secret Subway Society is the inaugural production of NachoMama Theatre for Young Audiences, a new children’s theatre group headed by Katherine Sanders. This fantastical play set on the Toronto subway system is appropriate for ages five and up. The play is inspired by the FringeKids! venue, the
Palmerston Library Theatre, which is located directly above the Bloor subway line. Trains can be heard running underneath the audience’s feet several times a show. This site-specific soundscape, when combined with the political backdrop of the raging Toronto transportation debate, makes The Super Secret Subway Society the most topical piece of kids theatre you’re likely to see at the Fringe this year.
(TORONTO, ON – June 7, 2012) SOMETHING FROM NOTHING was created 20 years ago by award winning author Phoebe Gilman. In 1994 Cascade Theatre, a touring theatre company for young and family audiences, adapted the book into a DORA MAVOR MOORE award winning play.
SOMETHING FROM NOTHING, which includes music, song, story and 3 amazing and adorable mice puppets, has been performed to over 300,000 school-age children, their parents and educators throughout the GTA, the East Coast and as far as Inuvik, North West Territories.
