Theatre Orangeville Education Outreach

Theatre Orangeville prides itself on its commitment to young people through our many youth programs. One way we feel we can be of invaluable service to our teachers is by supporting the elementary schools' arts curriculum as set out by the Ministry of Education.

Education on Stage

Theatre Orangeville's school shows are a marvellous way to introduce students to the magic of live theatre, but they also allow teachers to address the requirements of the Ontario curriculum for the arts. School comes alive when you put Education on Stage.

Theatre Orangeville invites your class to enjoy Education on Stage

Theatre Orangeville can not only help you meet your curriculum goals, but we are also committed to offering programs that educate, entertain and inspire. Take advantage of our creative team to enhance your lessons. We can arrange to have artists speak with your class either after the performance or at your school.

Have your students realize just how fun Education on Stage can be.

Call the Box Office at 519-942-3423 or 1-800- 424-1295.

1 teacher/supervisor admitted free with every 10 students.

Selkie is a word for "seal" in our Scottish ancestry and a common sight across the Northern British Isles. Heads bobbing above the waves, they are often seen from the shore, watching us inquisitively with uncanny human eyes. Once a year on Midsummer's Eve, the selkies shape shift into humans and dance on lonely stretches of moonlit shores. They cast off their sealskins for just a moment but then they put back on their magical skins, return to seal form and go back to the sea
