Between Sea & Sky

@ Dufferin Grove Park , Toronto

An unlikely comedy with puppets, live music, and special appearances from a biologist, a babysitter, and some rock star pirates. Performed amongst the trees of beautiful Dufferin Grove Park, Between Sea & Sky is the story of a nautical journey across a wet pebble called Earth. As the great ship carrying half of humanity charges forth into uncharted waters, will its passengers choose to look forward or look back? Between Sea & Sky is a comedic allegory with somber implications; when push comes to shove, who will be left behind?

 

Our new program Puppets Without Barriers provides performances with American Sign Language interpretation, as well as pre-show touch tours and live audio description for blind and low-vision audience members.

 

Most evening performances will also feature a pre-show by our very own Cyclops: Cycling Oriented Puppet Squad . This newly-formed performance squad, funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, will be bringing theatre to cyclists and cyclists to the theatre over the next three years.

Cycling Oriented Puppet Squad

Clay & Paper's new bicycle-based theatre project Cyclops: Cycling Oriented Puppet Squad , rolls out this summer!

As we take our unique brand of theatre to the streets, we will develop new performance venues and enliven Toronto 's public spaces while drawing attention to urban environmental issues and promoting active living. Thanks to funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Cyclops will be bringing the bicycle revolution to the city for the next 3 summers!

Our New Home

Our New Home

Clay & Paper Theatre is taking over Toronto one neighbourhood at a time! That's why we have just moved into a new studio and office in Liberty Village.

Our studio at 2B-37 Mowat Ave. will be home to our beloved Cyclops project for the next 6 months. A big thanks to real estate broker Simon Gitalis for helping us find the perfect studio. Our office is located at 60 Atlantic Ave, Studio 110, an Artscape property. Feel free to drop by and say hello if you're in the neighbourhood.

Do not fear, Clay & Paper will still be as active as ever in Dufferin Grove Park, but our growing company just needed a little more room.
