For 2023’s World Theatre Day for Children and Youth, five associations across Canada have come together to celebrate an integral role in Theatre for Young Audiences: stage managers! This year’s message is brought to you by Giselle Clarke-Trenamen, Production Coordinator at Presentation House Theatre in North Vancouver. Join us as we celebrate stage managers in Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA). Watch the full video here! #cdntheatre
“TYA has led me to many beautiful moments that I don’t think that I would have experienced in adult theatre. Watching a child take in their first theatre performance, wowed by the lights and the sound; listening to a child experience a show beside me fully engaged in the world we have created for them; being approached in town with a smile and being thanked for the show; a hug in the lobby to say what words could not express.”
- Giselle Clarke-Trenaman
