Events Description

 

We tour this show for Grades 4-8 or ages 9 and up to schools across Ontario (and this season Saskatchewan!). This is our free presentation for families in our community and local educators to see the show before it heads out on the road! Originally created for Roseneath’s Digital_Dialogues, and now a Roseneath Theatre and Black Theatre Workshop co-production, this powerful piece has evolved into a full-length stage play ready to tour to schools and venues throughout Ontario.

Synopsis: Eli’s maman is having her sadness again and she knows the only one who can help is their neighbour Madame Jean. This funny and touching piece explores how two completely different generations develop a supportive and lasting relationship during the hardest time of the pandemic.

Themes: Storytelling, Mental Health, Immigration​

Curriculum Connections: Visual Arts, Health and Physical Education, Language, Media Literacy, Drama, Dance, Music

 

Roseneath Theatre’s entrance is on the north side of the building.
