WHAT DID WE PACK IN OUR MAGIC SUITCASE FOR THIS MONTH’S VISIT TO SICK KIDS?

We packed: our special book “Ruby’s Sword” as well as a bed sheet and a piece of blank paper! What? Blank paper? Why is that so exciting? BECAUSE A BLANK PAPER CAN BE ANYTHING!
We used inspiration from this book to transform our paper into magic wands, into combs, into moustaches and even into bananas! (BANANAS UNITE!)

At the end of this book the main character uses a bedsheet to make a SUPER COOL FORT - So we did too!

We were so grateful that we had a lovely audience of kids who were happy to help us put up a fort and decorate it with whatever our imaginations could think of! Morgan and Piper had such a fun story time adventure with all their friends at Sick Kids Hospital!

Hot off the press! Suitcase Theatre's 2025 Annual Report is now out.

It's been a great first week of camp! We had fun on:
Magical Monday
Tutti-Frutti Tuesday
World Cup Wednesday
Out of this World Thursday
and today it's Carnival Friday!

Our campers have stretched their imaginations and explored their creativity through dress-up, puppetry, art, drama, movement and so much more. We know they're all looking forward to their final performances today. Have a great day everyone!

Happy Canada Day from all of us at Suitcase Theatre!

Happy last day of school! We wish everyone a safe and fun summer.

We had a wonderful day at Sick Kids yesterday, with Piper leading all of the fun.

Tessa stepped in as co-star to help with our suitcase items reveal and was a great support. We also introduced our new friends “Showy” and “Telly” (thank you Morgan) to help us answer the phones. We had a great time together.

Our super fun session was all about Canadian animals. We used mime to pretend that we were different kinds of Canadian animals that are out for springtime (geese, beavers, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, moose). This inspired us to sing and act out a repeat-after-me “Moose Song” about a great big moose who liked to drink a lot of juice.

This made us wonder “what do Moose eat?” So we read “If you Give a Moose a Muffin”. We acted out all the moose activities and ate a lot of pretend muffins.

After all those muffins Piper needed a break so our puppet friend Melody showed up and told some punny jokes about owls, moose and polar bears. Then Piper and Melody led everyone in a song about grey squirrels, where they shook their bushy tails like all the squirrel family members, under water, fast and slow.

We finished up with our "It’s you I like" song and waved goodbye to all our friends. Piper and Melody felt so lucky to share their love of animals with all of our friends at Sick Kids.

We can't wait to meet our campers! Summer camp starts in less than three weeks and our hardworking crew is behind the scenes cleaning costumes, sharpening pencil crayons, gathering art supplies, making playlists and trying to contain their excitement!
