Come down to Avenue Theatre (9030 118 Ave) for the Snow Globe Festival of Children’s Theatre! The festival runs from December 20-24.
The festival has three productions specifically for young audiences and offers an accessible and affordable alternative to holiday events. A festival pass ranges from $19.75 to $28.00. For that you get to see all three productions, plus the Holiday Half Time Show. Tickets to individual shows are $8 to $10.
Ellen Chorley, the artistic director of Promise Productions and producer of the festival, has an amazing track record with Theatre for Young Audiences at the Fringe, as well as high school residencies and a collection of other accomplishments.
There have already been over 1300 student tickets sold to the festival and they’re hoping the evening shows will be equally as successful.

This year’s Fringe Festival, just getting underway, promises to be revolutionary. Infact, it’s too revolutionary to stay south of the river.
The Avenue Theatre is hosting several Fringe productions this year, including …
Songs From a Revolution — A Musical Theatrical Celebration of A New Revolution
A live show to complement the Songs From the Ave CD. Where houses speak, and ghosts walk on Alberta Avenue, this show is a celebration of all things Norwood, a place we love, a place we live, and sometimes, a place we avoid. Songs From the Ave is storytelling at its best, through song, theatre, poetry, laughter and joy.

When: August 14 at 8 pm; Aug 15 at 10 pm; Aug 16 at 2 pm; Aug 20 at 8 pm; Aug 21 at 10 pm; Aug 21 at 8 pm
