Pink Shirt Day

Creating great experiences in schools for over 40 years.
Trickster offers both traditional theatre-based in-school residencies and video residency-based in-school residencies. (when physical distancing is required).
Starting Jan. 1 we will also be offering fully Online residencies.
We offer a variety of programs that can support your school.
Explore Global Issues with our free activity guides.
In our On-Line Storytelling programs, our artists will help you create great stories really fast.
We also offer On-Line Teacher PD sessions.
Create a performance exploring a theme that matters to you and your students
Our goal is to make the residency fit your school and community in the best way possible. We’ll work with you on a theme and provide everything you need to get your show off the ground. This includes the directors, producers and artists to lead it all. We put your students first, ensuring that they play the main role in writing, producing and performing the show.
When physical distancing is required we offer modified residencies with video performances that your school will be able to share with parents.
Soon, we’ll also be offering fully Online Residencies as well.

Our residency was a unifying and motivating experience that we used as a way to begin our year long inquiry about children’s rights.

Trickster helped our students come alive in physical theatre and showed them another way to learn. Students were enthusiastic, creative, took risks and looked invincible on stage. Students have created memories that will stay with them for many years to come.

If you ever have the opportunity to have Trickster take over your school for a week do not turn it down! This non-stop, fun filled residency will have students learning in a whole new way. Some students that are struggling with personal trials were able to bond with their classmates and forget their troubles for a little while they were learning and that was the most beautiful thing to see.

I like the fact that the Residency Tricksters allow the students to play a big role in creating this moment. It was about the students. They created the play and acted the play. It allowed the students to show their hidden talents.
