Calling all Forest Rangers! The trees need our help! Join us on our mission to help solve the mystery of why the forest is in trouble and what we can do to save the day. Come camp in our tent, hike along the forest trails, investigate, explore, dance, and sing along.
Part performance, part campfire, and part immersive adventure for ages 3-9, Saplings invites children on a musical journey in the boreal forest, discussing forest fires, and forest rejuvenation.
For ages 3-9. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Admission is pay-what-you-may by pass-the-hat on the day of. The performance will be outside on Dalnavert's grounds, weather permitting. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be moved indoors to our Visitors' Centre.
This show was proudly created in collaboration with the Forest Adventure Club: twenty intrepid 3-6-year-olds in Winnipeg, with contributions from One Trunk’s Artistic Board & Summer Artists in Residence. Check out THIS VIDEO of the creation process.
