Come for a hand building workshop and stay for a theatre show! A perfect combination of hands-on creativity and professional storytelling promises to be an unforgettable afternoon or evening of artistic exploration!

GCTC is excited to partner with our neighbours at Hintonburg Pottery to offer this fun workshop series tied to each of the shows in our season. Don an apron and get your hands dirty and you build a beautiful keepsake. Our first workshop, alongside the show Abraham Lincoln Goes to the Theatre will teach you to build a vintage-style candle holder. Hintonburg Pottery staff will guide you through the process and demonstrate the technique.

Limited spaces available. Register now!
