Magnus Theatre is excited to announce registration is open for The Collective Creation Project
The Collective Creation Project is an annual cooperative effort with Magnus Theatre and local high school students. With the guidance of professional theatre staff, students from across the city come together to write a play on a social issue affecting Thunder Bay. Students are involved in all aspects of the creation of the play, from writing to acting and production. Ten local students from the Collective Creation Project, STOLEN, AZHEN (2020-2021), received the Lieutenant Governor's Ontario Heritage Award for their work on this collaborative theatre project which focused on the topic of reconciliation in Canada. Last season the Collective Creation Project toured local Elementary Schools, performing their play SWIMMING FOR LIFE, to over 1500 students.
This year's CCP theme is Poverty. Stay tuned for an announcement about our local community partner!
