“Blue Flower” Symbolism: A blue rose (which does not naturally occur), or a blue flower in general, can represent the metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable; it symbolizes hope and beauty, trust and a commitment that goes on. It embodies our main goal for this initiative, that the students we work with feel safe exploring the infinite ways theatre helps us understand ourselves and each other. That the youth would see the hope and beauty in the people they portray, and in themselves when they are at their weakest. That they would commit to trusting each other through a process that asks a lot of vulnerability of them.

We work with youth and young adults aged 16-25 and allow them to pursue higher-level, professional theatre training in a safe environment where they can grow. By working with a small number of these youth at a time, we will engage them in a rehearsal process that prepares them for the showcase of a full-length professional show.

2024 Show – Mary’s Wedding by Stephen Massicotte

On the night before her wedding, Mary dreams of a thunderstorm, during which she unexpectedly meets Charlie sheltering in a barn beside his horse. With innocence and humour, the two discover a charming first love. But the year is 1914, and the world is collapsing into a brutal war. Together, they attempt to hide their love, galloping through the fields for a place and time where the tumultuous uncertainties of battle can’t find them. A play with a heart as big as the skies that serve as its stage, ‘Mary’s Wedding’ is an epic, unforgettable story of love, hope, and survival.
