What Happened to You? is a new, heart-warming piece of puppet theatre for children and their families, coming to Toronto this summer from the UK!
The Disability Collective is thrilled to announce our first in-person event - a children’s theatre show titled What Happened to You?. Join us at Tarragon Theatre in Toronto on Saturday, August 20th & Sunday, August 21st for the Toronto premiere of this groundbreaking work!
What Happened to You? is a new, heart-warming piece of puppet theatre for children and their families. Created semi-autobiographically, puppet designer Nikki Charlesworth challenges the fundamental laws of traditional puppetry by making puppets that reflect her own disability, and moves as she moves. What Happened to You? also features creative use of Audio Description, embedded into the original score, and integrated American Sign Language by a Deaf actor, which introduces children to enhanced access. Originally performed in the UK, we’re thrilled to be bringing this show to Toronto this summer.
Tickets are pay what you can.
Patrons purchasing tickets at a higher price point can do so with the understanding that their ticket price is helping to subsidize the lower ticket prices, and in doing so, are making this show more accessible for others.
