Creative Teens Theatre
Join us for the 2025 Creative Teens Showcase!
2 months ago, at a summer camp off the island, twelve campers waited for a ferry to come and take them home. It never arrived and outside the camp, the world began to end.
1 month ago, a single camper left in search of help. They should be coming back tonight, and the remaining campers have a decision to make.
Aimed at students in grades 7–12, the Creative Teens Theatre program invites students to collaboratively create an original show based on ideas and stories they are passionate about. Participants have explored music, songwriting, improv, writing, and more to create their own devised piece.
Sun, Jun 15, 7 PM
Newmont Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre
