What Happened to You?
Produced & Presented by The Disability Collective
What Happened to You? is a new, heart-warming piece of puppet theatre for children and their families. Created semi-autobiographically, puppet designer Nikki Charlesworth challenges the fundamental laws of traditional puppetry by making puppets that reflect her own disability, and moves as she moves. What Happened to You? also features creative use of Audio Description, embedded into the original score, and integrated American Sign Language by a Deaf actor, which introduces children to enhanced access. Originally performed in the UK, The Disability Collective is thrilled to be bringing this show to Toronto this summer.
Show Dates and Times:
Saturday August 20 & Sunday August 21 @ 2:00 PM
Tickets are pay-what-you-can-afford.
Please Note: Patrons purchasing tickets at a higher price point can do so with the understanding that their ticket price is helping to subsidize the lower ticket prices, and in doing so, are making this show more accessible for others.
The running time is 45 minutes.
Workshops:
Ticket holders are invited to join us before the show at 12:30 PM for a complimentary puppet-making workshop with What Happened to You?'s director and designer, Nikki Charlesworth! During this 45 minute workshop, you will learn about basic puppetry and create your own puppet using found materials - you can bring your own from home! Plus, meet the cast and puppets from What Happened to You? up close! Space is limited so please register by clicking here or by calling the box office at 416-531-1827.
