Schedule for May 25

Theatre Tours
10:30am-4:30pm

Theatre tours will be every 30 minutes on the half hour, beginning at 10:30am and finishing at 4:30pm. Tours will be approximately 25 minutes and will include a glimpse into the backstage world of the Bluma Appel and Jane Mallett Theatres. Please note these tours are in an historic building with stairs. Unfortunately, tours are not accessible by elevator.

Story Time with Fay & Fluffy
Bluma Appel Lower Lobby 11:30am, 2:00pm, and 3:45pm

Join drag queens Fay & Fluffy for big wigs, colourful outfits, and lots of sparkle. With every show they get kids excited to read, learn and laugh. Fay & Fluffy’s main goal is to share the message of inclusivity wherever they go, cheering on all the kids who see them to be proud of who they are, loving themselves, and being kind to one another.

Old School Family Dance Jam with Byron Abalos and Andrea Mapili
Bluma Appel Lower Lobby 10:30pm, 12:30pm and 3:00pm

Join multidisciplinary artists Byron Abalos and Andrea Mapili, and their 4-year old daughter Mayari, for an Old School Family Dance Jam! This family-friendly event will help you connect with your body as we dance to some bangers from the past.
