Water Wishes
Welcome to Water Wishes -- an interactive, guided play session for children ages 1-5 and their adult companions that takes place at MacEwan University's Aquatic Centre. This immersive theatre experience includes 25-30 minutes of poetry, song, movement, and play in the teach pool. Up to two children can accompany each adult, who must join their littles in the water. There will be a beginning and an end to the experience, but afterwards, children and adults can continue to enjoy the pool facilities. Registration for time slots will be on a first come, first serve basis, and there are limited spots available in each so please register early!

Past Performances
Colour Wizards
Calling all wizards and fantasy folk! Join us for Colour Wizards, a child-centered interactive theatre production that invites littles from 1-5 years to explore colour and light through a vibrant fantasy world. The Colour Wizards adventure takes place in Red, Green, and Blue worlds and includes sing-a-long songs, imaginative play, and storytelling through our “whispers” puppets. The journey is about 30-35 minutes long and children are encouraged to follow at their own pace, with their guardians and educators joining us in the experience.
Wild Backyard
(formerly the Urban Wildlife Project)
Wild Backyard is immersive, participatory theatre for children ages 1 to 5 years old. With a focus on urban wildlife (jackrabbits, chickadees, squirrels and magpies) local to the Alberta capital region, Wild Backyard includes object theatre, puppetry, song, movement, dance, dramatic scenes, and inspiring opportunities to play. An exclusive experience for only 20 children and their adults, children are invited to explore our interactive space and play with objects, actors, and other people in the room. There is a beginning and end to the show and is roughly 45 minutes - 1 hour long, including interactive play time. Caregivers and educators accompany children in the experience.
