Presentation House Theatre’s 2023-2024 Fall Season includes:
KIDSPLAY: Theatre for Young Audiences
HEAVY AND LIGHT – Canadian English-Language Premiere!
October 5-15
by Marga Koop and Winfried Wrede
produced by Presentation House Theatre
Ages 3-7
Imagine a world where a stone can become a balloon!
Does a stone ever wonder what it’s like to fly? Do they sleep? Do they dream? Does a balloon long to be free from the earth? Where do they go if they fly away? We might not know what goes on in each other’s heads, but we’re curious to find out in this whimsical exploration of opposites. Hold on tight because this amusing adventure just might lift you off your feet!
BAKING TIME
December 1-17
by Tim Webb and Kim Selody
produced by Presentation House Theatre and Oily Cart Theatre
Ages 3-7
It’s Baking Time! The smell of freshly baked bread drifts through the audience as master bakers Bun and Bap try to contain a sticky situation – they’ve over-yeasted a lively batch of dough and it’s GROWING. When Yeasty Beasty rises up and begins to chase newly baked baby Loafy through forests, oceans, and floury snowstorms, Bap and Bun spring to action. But what are they to do? It’s a recipe for pure joy! Expect baking antics, lively music, and lots of opportunities for the audience to safely join in the fun.
ADULT CONTEMPORARY SERIES
WOMAN IN BLACK
October 19-31
by Stephen Mallatratt
produced by CLASSical ACT Collective
Age: 12+ (Intended for mature audiences)
Aging solicitor, Arthur Kipps, can’t forget the eerie experiences that plagued his younger years. Eager to excise the ghosts of his past, he engages a young actor to bring his stories to life, never expecting the haunting to return and curse them both. Ghostly sounds swirl, eyes are deceived, and spines are left tingling as the very essence of “the Woman” is conjured.

Presentation House Theatre co-presenter of Theatre Series
