Spring break has begun, and a Canadian theatre troupe is offering a series of shows for Tri-City parents looking to get out of the house their young kids.
DuffleBag Theatre is set to perform the classic children's stories of Snow White and The Three Musketeers during its annual Spring Break Festival at Coquitlam's Evergreen Cultural Centre (ECC) from Tuesday to Thursday (March 15-17).
This is the first set of live family-friendly shows for the "nearly world-famous" organization in Coquitlam in several years.
They were set to perform at the ECC over spring break 2020, but turn back to Toronto after the COVID-19 pandemic took effect and forced the cancellation of several productions.
This year will also include one bilingual performance of The Three Musketeers, which will be done in English and French "to support and engage with the vibrant francophone community in the Tri-Cities area and beyond," a release from the ECC explains.
"It is wonderful to have DuffleBag Theatre back back in our facility again," says ECC performing arts manager David Mann.
