Passion
The Theatre is My Passion (TIMP) children's program is an after-school program for children and youth between the ages of 8 & 18. The program runs from February to June, finishing with a full production of a play. Led by a dedicated team of volunteers, the children learn about everything that it takes to put on a production—from auditions to backstage etiquette!
The BFG
Written by Roald Dahl
Adapted by David Wood
Directed by Christine Michelle Robitaille and Laura Lynn Martin
​
This stage adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic book about the 24-feet-tall Big Friendly Giant and a little orphan called Sophie brings some of Dahl’s most memorable characters to life.
The BFG and Sophie team up to save the children of England from the child-eating giants Bloodbottler, Fleshlumpeater, Bonecruncher, Meatdripper, Childchewer and Gizzardgulper. They are assisted by the Queen of England and the Heads of the Army and Airforce with their helicopters.
