Covid Safety Tips!
At this time, SpringWorks will not be distancing patron pods. Masks and proof of vaccination will be required for indoor programming only.
This venue is an outdoor venue, which means that masks are not required… Please bring a mask if it makes you and your pod feel more comfortable!
SpringWorks will continue to monitor government and Public Health guidelines and implement any necessary changes to ensure the safety of all involved. We are also following the lead of Arts Industry partners like the Shaw and Stratford Festivals who are surveying patrons for their comfort levels on a regular basis.
Théâtre des Petites Âmes
Created in 2007, Le Théâtre des Petites Âmes (Small Souls) was born from a desire to offer small scale puppet, object and mask theatre productions. Stories and dreams come to life in a small scale theatre format where reality and imagination coalesce. Micro-universes are created before small audiences to provide an intimate contact with the spectator. Our productions are available in English, French and Spanish. Our first mandate is to offer theatre for small children. This no worry formula is tailored to young children between the ages of two and five. The Théâtre des Petites Âmes will also offer productions for adult audiences to cater to the child within. Quality productions for children between the ages of two and five are few and far between. The small children chapter of our company aims to meet this demand. At this age the child is at a stage in his development where imagination is boundless. With stories, images and music we nurture this secret world where anything is possible.
