Butterflies
October 14 - 24, 2010
Ages 3 - 12

Butterflies takes audiences on a magnificent journey through a literal and symbolic story of a butterfly's life. Imagine being inside a butterfly's world. Sun shines on your face, you hear the wings beat - in fact you experience the entire cycle of metamorphosis. Two actors and dancers inside a virtual landscape interact with spectators, and even bigger thrills come when young ones from the audience are invited to touch and explore the glowing interactive garden themselves.


If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
December 7 - 26, 2010
Ages 3 - 7


Let's say you're standing around the kitchen, minding your own business when a mouse in coveralls wearing a backpack shows up. What would you do? See how a curious kid finds himself figure skating on scrub brushes, wrestling boa constrictors and climbing mountains when an innocent milk-and-cookie snack time goes from mishap to calamity to catastrophe faster than the twitch of a whisker! Based on the children's book by Laura Numeroff, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie is a celebration of friendship, storytelling, imagination, and physical comedy. A wonderful way to share a love for literature and fun!


Circus INcognitus
March 27 - April 8, 2011
All Ages

"Genius" said the New York Times, and our audiences agreed. Jamie Adkins brought the house down at MTYP with his astonishing dexterity and side-splitting stunts in Typo. As brilliant as his last show, Jamie's new show won't just dazzle you, it will melt your heart. Circus Incognitus is about having the courage to try new ideas, pushing them to their limits and not giving up when all goes wrong.

Baobab
February 6 - 13, 2011
Ages 3 - 12

Under a blazing West African sun, a little boy emerges from an egg. With their village plagued by drought the people soon discover that this little boy is the only one who can unlock the water source. Blending African and Quebecois music and storytelling traditions with puppetry, live percussion, song and captivating shadow theatre, Baobab imparts a gentle message about the importance of passing down values and traditions from one generation to the next.


Russell's World

February 17 - 24, 2011
Ages 4 - 7

Russell comes home every day after school to an empty house. His mom, a single parent, has moved to a new city. Russell misses his old friends and he is being bullied at his new school. At home by himself, Russell conjures up an exciting make-believe world of outer space journeys and high seas voyages. Together, Russell and his imaginary friends invent adventures that ultimately help him grow, to accept his new situation, and begin to face his fears.


Notice To Parents of Infants and Toddlers:

MTYP productions are open only to children who are 3 years of age or older. Children younger than this are not permitted in the theatre because:

•  They may become frightened or disruptive, which is unfair to others who are
     looking forward to being immersed in the theatrical experience.

•  We are careful to tailor our productions to children in a selected age range.
    Children younger than three years require specifically designed theatrical
    productions which match their development. We encourage you to bring your
    children back when they can benefit most from the MTYP experience.
