“This programming is such a wonderful opportunity for families to experience live theatre together,” says Executive Director Nicole Campbell. “We’re proud to offer shows that are joyful, welcoming, and, especially important for families, truly affordable.”

Interim Artistic Producer David Leyshon highlights the timeless appeal of this year’s stories. “Robert Munsch’s tales are beloved by generations of Canadians, and seeing them brought to life on stage is always magical. Pairing that with the classic charm and humour of Cinderella makes this March Break lineup something special.”

For DuffleBag Theatre’s Marcus Lundgren, the excitement is all about the shared experience. “March Break at Lighthouse is always such a joy, and Cinderella is designed for the whole family to jump right into the fun. With audience participation and lots of laughs, every performance feels completely unique.”
