Outdoor theatre & make-your-own pizza
For the third year, The Cooking Fire Theatre Festival is offering a special matinee program of outdoor theatre for local school groups. An ideal field trip for grades one and up, students will see two exciting and original shows, and make their own pizzas at the park's outdoor wood-fired community bake oven. For contact information, click here.
Note: All pizza making slots are fully booked, but there is still lots of space to see the matinee.
11:00am-12:00pm ~ Performances
Golgi Apparatus (Toronto) ~ Ahoy!
With only their wits and a rubber dingy, the three clown crusaders Fellini, Can Can and the Colonel set sail on another misadventure. Will they tread water or be hung out to dry? A rough and tumble nautical adventure for all ages. From the physical theatre company that brought you last year’s BigFoot.
Buddy Nutt (Pittsburgh) ~ Pickleville
Pickleville is a nonverbal musical puppet performance piece portraying the story of Sam the tragedy stricken reluctant dancing pickle man. A story of personal triumph, in which Sam is confronted with loss but offered a glimmer of hope from an unlikely little dog made of gherkins. Pickleville is a dreamlike place in which the least unusual thing is that everything is made of pickles.
10:00am-11:00am & 12:00pm-2:00pm ~ Pizza Making
Children - and adults too - get to make their own personal pizza at Dufferin Grove Park's outdoor community bake oven. Roll out your own dough, add sauce and cheese, then watch the staff as they cook the pizzas in the wood-fired oven. Feel free to bring your own toppings and other snacks to round out your lunch!
Classes will make pizza in shifts, so you might have some free time in the park. Dufferin Grove Park is an interesting place: tour the park's native species gardens, visit the Cob Courtyard, or check out the cob benches near the wading pool made by students last year.
Performances: $3.50 per student
Performances and pizza: $6 per student FULLY BOOKED
Withdrawal deadline: May 14, 2008
