Carousel Theatre

Carousel targets youth and family audiences. There are some performances aimed for children as young as 2 but most are for children over 5 years of age. Youths under the age of fourteen must be accompanied by an adult. Carousel Theatre, celebrating its 34th season, has presented to the public 136 plays for young people. There is a small arts complex that includes administrative offices and two rehearsal halls. Carousel is one of the long-term resident tenants at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island. Each year more than 75 000 young people and their families benefit from Carousel Theatre’s varied programming. Under the supervision and direction of Artistic Director Carole Higgins, Carousel Theatre offers a season of Literary Classics at the Waterfront Theatre, as well as an Elementary School Touring Program, a Teen Shakespeare Program and a year-round Theatre School for young people ages 3 to 17 years. Carousel Theatre is an important part of the community, and is the only theatre company in BC that produces a fully professional season of mainstage programming aimed and geared for young people.
