Did you know that all of our Trickster residency schools select their own theme?

This means that we have produced more than 1400 unique children’s theatre shows in the past 45 years!

Our Trickster 2025/26 season features the following themes: You Belong Here, Science, Math, Literary Genres, Local History, Canada, Igniting Wonder, Health, Journalism, Going Green, Diversity, The Land, Global Issues, Leadership, and Custom Themes.

Each class works with a professional Trickster artist to come up with a one of a kind story using one main prop. They learn to tell the story using their prop in a form of physical theatre. We then weave all of these pieces together to create a show for family and friends!

We supply everything you need for your Trickster Residency, including full length curtains, and full light and sound rigs. We also provide costumes for every child and special props for each class. 

Check out our themes to learn more.
