Geordie Productions

Tickets are now on sale for the Geordie Production:  Once Upon a Home which will take place on Sunday, April 11 at 2:00 p.m.

What does "home" mean to you? last year, Geordie posed this question to elementary school students from 4 different schools in and around Montreal, as part of a collaborative creation process called "From You to Us to You". With their stories, words, and drawings, the Geordie team created a fresh new play to bring back to you. Once Upon a Home is written from the real voices of children in Quebec, reflecting their diverse histories, families and imaginations - every word spoken onstage was written by a child.

Space is limited. It is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance at the main desk. $5.00 per person.
