Playtime Program
Babysitter woes got you down? Can’t enjoy a night out because you can’t find someone to watch your kids? Have you called in one too many favours from mom and dad? Fear not! Along with Kids Create and the OYP Theatre School, the GCTC is re-launching its Playtime Program.
The Playtime Program is a fun and enriching opportunity for children to exercise their creativity, while theatre-going parents get to enjoy a great GCTC matinee.
Kids participating in the Playtime Program, with Kids Create, will be part of a fun and exciting craft time. This experience will include learning to create with new and recycled materials. At the end, all children will have finished creating several, unique crafts to take home with them. Crafts and supervision are provided by Kids Create, a local business run by an Ottawa resident and mom with years of experience in teaching and art.
The Playtime Program with the OYP Theatre School will give kids the opportunity to play theatre games and work on a short performance piece in the theme of the play you are attending and then perform it for you!
With the purchase of adult group rate tickets ($31.25, tax included) to a matinee, the Playtime Program will provide fun and stimulating supervision for children aged 6-12. Spaces are limited, so please reserve your spots no later than 48 hours before the show.
The Playtime Program, with Kids Create, will be operating on the following dates during the 2011/12 season:
East of Berlin - March 31, 2012
Circle Mirror Transformation - May 26, 2012
Join Mrs Create for a fun filled afternoon of making crafts. Learn to create with new and recycled materials and go home with several unique crafts! The class is limited to 24 registrants, so sign-up now.
