Performances

Students
To encourage dialogue on the performance and its subject matter, every performance is followed by a Q & A session and comes with a FREE Teacher’s Study Guide which is available for download. See below to check out which shows are available to be performed in a gym, auditorium, theatre or even cafeteria near you!
Live-Streaming and Homeschool options for the 2Play Tour are available. Please contact our Schools Liaison Brenna for more information.
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!
The shows on tour
Beyond Belief
By Sarah Danielle Pitman
Directed by Jimmy Blais
September 2025-May 2026
Audience : Elementary School
Rowan and their older sister, Abbey, have always shared in a world of magic through imagination and stories—until Abbey changes. She stops eating, barely speaks, and no longer plays along. Doctors come and go, and grown-ups whisper behind closed doors, but no one can explain what’s happening. If Abbey is sick, why can’t anyone fix it?
After discovering a mysterious egg on the beach, and convinced that it holds a magic that could save their sister, Rowan embarks on a quest filled with strange riddles, mythical creatures, and an enigmatic guide who challenges their understanding of what it means to help someone. But as Rowan’s journey unfolds, they must face a difficult truth: some things can’t be solved by cleverness or courage alone—sometimes, healing takes time, patience, and simply being there.
1984 2061
By Harry Standjofski
Directed by Katey Wattam and Rinchen Dolma
September 2025-May 2026
Audience : High School/CÉGEP
A futuristic reimagining of 1984, where omnipresent surveillance forces young people to question their relationship with technology, power, and personal freedom, 2061 directly engages with the anxieties of the digital age—examining how constant connectivity shapes our perceptions of privacy and identity.
In a not-so distant future, an all-controlling Party has brainwashed its population to submit to its all-seeing leader, Big Brother. Winston Bishop, a worker for the Ministry of Truth, is tasked with rewriting history to suit the needs of the Party, but longs for freedom and truth. After meeting Julia, who shares his beliefs and rebel spirit, both begin to resist against the totalitarian rules of the Party, hiding from the all-seeing Telescreens which populate every inch of the city. But Big Brother is always watching.
