Cow Over Moon Children’s Theatre presents Here We Are

Cow Over Moon Children’s Theatre is pleased to announce that they will be contributing to the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday with our 2017 production called Here We Are, which is based on the Ojibway creation story of Turtle Island. We are proud to be able to offer this story to our young audiences in Mississauga.

This story will follow the journey of a family trying their best to carve out a place to “be” along with giving up pre-conceived notions of who they are as well as those around them. It is an examination of the extraordinary power of our dreams and the resilience and strength of children. It is also a reminder of the importance of perseverance, teamwork and not judging a book by its cover (or a person by their size), and that sometimes we need to break out of the perceived limits of our story as it is now and grow into a more capable person.

Founded  and  based  in  Mississauga  almost  twenty  years  ago,  Cow  Over  Moon Children’s Theatre is dedicated  to creating and producing  quality, accessible  theatre productions for children and families. By creating original scripts with a contemporary message,  incorporating classic  themes  and teachable  moments,  the artists  at Cow Over Moon engage their audience through the transformative power of theatre.

In true  Cow  Over  Moon  style  this play  will involve  song,  dance  and  of course  the invitation for the audience to play! We truly believe this show will be one of a kind and something  that both children  and adults  will come out of inspired,  educated  and of course entertained! Here We Are is most appropriate for ages 7 to 12 but has tons of action that will entertain the entire family.

Here  We  Are  is written  by the  company  and  directed  by Eli  Ham.  The  company includes recent  graduates  from  the  Centre  of Indigenous  Theatre  Blaine  McLoed, Brendan Loonskin and second year student Pesch Nepoose. The cast also includes Aqua Nibii Waawaaskone who is also the Musical Director and Composer. Costume Design is by Isidra Cruz. The Stage Manager is Heather Bellingham.
