Introducing SERG member... Quest Theatre

Quest Theatre is a touring Theatre for Young audiences company based in Calgary, Alberta, that creates community through exceptional theatre adventures for young people throughout Alberta.

We offer school programs and performances. Our Artists in School Program uses developmental drama to explore the creative process in the classroom. Our artists use student ideas inspired by found material or chosen themes to facilitate student creations that are woven into a whole school production by the end of the week. Additionally, we offer meaningful School Touring Productions suitable for K-6 that are specifically designed for touring Alberta schools.

Introducing SERG member... Canada's Sports Hall of Fame

Canada's Sports Hall of Fame is proud to offer an incredible opportunity to virtually connect your classroom with a remarkable Hall of Famer!

These free, education presentations connect Hall of Famers with students in real-time to share their stories of how they’ve reached the pinnacle of their careers and are going “beyond their wins” to champion good in the community. Our education programs aim to equip youth with critical life skills, lessons, and tools for success, creating a moment where students discover for themselves that sport teaches more than sport.

This exclusive opportunity to learn from a Hall of Famer will be offered via YouTube livestream to all schools that have registered for the values-based presentation. One lucky school will be chosen for each program to join a Zoom call and interact directly with the Hall of Famer throughout the presentation, making for an unforgettable learning experience.

To learn more about the incredible roster of Hall of Famers and register for your free program, visit https://beyondthewin.ca/course/hall-of-famers-on-tour
