IMPORTANT NOTE: This year’s 2Play tour stage design uses advanced projection technology and requires a performance space that is 20 feet across and 24 feet deep. We understand this might be larger than your school is accustomed to for our performances. When booking our visit to your school, we kindly ask for confirmation if this reflects your gym/auditorium stage. If not, it is most helpful for us to know the exact dimensions so we can try our best to accommodate. Thank you for your collaboration!

Nine-year-old Rowan is on a mission: to prove that dragons are real—and maybe, just maybe, save their older sister Abbey in the process. When Rowan discovers a mysterious egg on the beach, a whirlwind of adventure begins, and an unlikely friendship forms with Margot, a shy but brilliant classmate who knows everything about birds, books, and being different. Together, they embark on a quest full of imagination, danger, and deep emotional discovery. But when the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur, Rowan must confront a truth even harder to believe than dragons: the people we love can sometimes need help we don’t know how to give. Funny, heartfelt, and brimming with childlike wonder, Beyond Belief tackles big questions with humour and empathy. It’s a story about friendship, mental health, and what it means to hold hope when things feel uncertain. With dazzling theatricality and warmth, this play invites young audiences to imagine boldly, speak honestly, and believe in the impossible.

1984 2061

By Harry Standjofski
Directed by Katey Wattam and Rinchen Dolma

Touring September 2025-May 2026

In the gleaming, corporate-controlled superstate of the Free West, where the skies are clear and the streets are surveilled, Winston Smith knows something isn’t right. The war is over. Peace has been declared. But the truth? It’s been buried, rewritten, or deleted entirely. When Winston meets Julia, a bold, sharp-witted colleague, the two begin a dangerous journey through forbidden love, underground resistance, and the fractured memories of a world that once was. Together, they challenge a system powered by AI surveillance, media manipulation, and emotional control—risking everything to reclaim the freedom to think, to feel, and to love. 2061 is a darkly funny, gripping reimagining of Orwell’s classic that feels chillingly close to home. Set in a tech-saturated future shaped by climate collapse and government-controlled information, this play asks urgent questions about truth, autonomy, and the cost of comfort in a screen-bound world.
