ZooZoo at Manitoba Theatre for Young People, March 20 - 31, 2013
In ZooZoo, comedy and physical finesse combine in a tour-de-force pantomime that tests the limits of gravity as well as our laugh meters! An ensemble of fantastical creatures - gastronomic anteaters, lethargic frogs, playful polar bears, competitive penguins, and insomniac hippos - wreak delightful havoc on stage and into the audience. Intricate choreography, bursts of acrobatics, and mesmerizing feats of illusion are all served to hilarious effect in this enchanting show. The universal themes of Imago's wordless world have won the hearts of audiences and critics in Canada and internationally, and makes ZooZoo a joy for all ages. This is mask and mime theatre at both its wackiest and most sophisticated!

Jake's Gift - at MTYP October 29 & 30
If live theatre can touch us in ways that film and lectures cannot... then Jake's Gift is the evidence.
A national hit, Julia Mackey's masterpiece has helped young people from Halifax to Victoria relate to Remembrance Day through a poignant story behind one soldier's grave Jake, a cantankerous World War II vet takes us with him to Juno Beach on the anniversary of D-Day. There he meets his match, Isabelle, a precocious ten-year-old from the local village. Mackey moves seamlessly between the two characters, generating laughter and empathy. We are honoured to present this theatrical gem about a significant part of Canadian history and humanity.
Jake's Gift is the most theatrically pure show I have ever seen.

Winnipeg Travel Guide - Canada Exceptional Atmosphere
Winnipeg is the capital and largest city in Manitoba, and a major centre on the Canadian Prairies. About 700,000 people live in the city proper, with about 825,000 in the entire census metropolitan area. The Peg is a city as diverse in and of itself as the whole of Canada. It is a well rounded city with a stable economy. It is a destination for architecture, rivers, history, money (mint), arts, and museums. It has something for everyone — from boutiques to cheap value stores, Winnipeg has a great retail market, where a lot of new concepts are tried.
Winnipeg lies at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, a location currently known as The Forks. This point was at the crossroads of canoe routes travelled by Aboriginal peoples prior to European contact. The name Winnipeg is a transcription of the western Cree word wi-nipe-k meaning muddy waters; the general area was populated for thousands of years by First Nations.
The Red and Assiniboine rivers form Winnipeg's most prominent geographical features, and have played an important role in this city's development. The Forks, where the Assiniboine flows into the Red, has been a meeting place since Aboriginal peoples first came there to trade. Today, it's the city's top tourist destination, with shops and restaurants representing the city's many ethnic groups, and a well-maintained expanse of riverside park. Winnipeg is off the tourist trail for most visitors to Canada, and the visitor will experience an authentic and friendly Canadian Prairie City which leaves many pleasantly surprised.
Corydon Avenue and its surrounding neighbourhood is one of the city’s hot spots for shopping, dining or an afternoon of people watching at one of the many sidewalk cafes and restaurants dotting the avenue. Corydon Avenue comes alive during warm summer evenings as crowds of people gather to meet, greet and to have some of the best food, gelati, and sushi in the city.
Downtown Winnipeg is centred around Portage Avenue and Main Street. Portage Avenue is the city's busiest thoroughfare. Winnipeg Square, the MTS Centre, Portage Place, and the flagship store of The Bay are all located on the downtown section of this street. On Main Street are Winnipeg's City Hall, Union Station, The Manitoba Museum, the Planetarium, the Centennial Concert Hall and the Winnipeg Railway Museum.
The Exchange District is a National Historic Site in the downtown area of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The Exchange District today thrives as one of Winnipeg's commercial and cultural centers. Winnipeg's theatre district is also located in the Exchange District, home to the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre and Centennial Concert Hall. Old Market Square is also in the Exchange which hosts the Jazz Winnipeg Festival and the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.
The Forks is a historic site and meeting place in Downtown Winnipeg located at the confluence of the Red River and Assiniboine River. The Forks Market contains many specialty food shops, fresh fruit and vegetables, and many ethnic shops. There are often buskers in and around the Forks. Attractions include the Manitoba Theatre for Young People, the Winnipeg International Children's Festival, one of the largest skateparks in Canada, the Esplanade Riel, the world's longest skating trail (winter only), and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Osborne Village has evolved into a neighborhood filled with character. It is Winnipeg's most densely populated neighbourhood, voted the Best Place to Live in Uptown Magazine's 2008 Best of List. Popular annual events include the Canada Day Festival. Osborne Village is home to one of Winnipeg's most vibrant collection of stores and restaurants with over 175 businesses calling Osborne Village home.
Polo Park is Winnipeg's largest retail and entertainment district. The mall of Polo Park has over 200 stores including Hudson's Bay, Sears H&M, and the Cineplex Entertainment movie theatres. It is the 12th largest shopping centre in Canada and the largest between Toronto and Edmonton.
The West End is a mostly residential area just west of Downtown Winnipeg. The area is very ethnically diverse as is evidenced by the Portuguese, Greek, Vietnamese, Chinese, East Indian and Thai restaurants that line both Ellice and Sargent Avenues, making it one of the best areas for real ethnic food.

Walking Cities: Winnipeg
As part of the Winnipeg International Writers’ Festival, Métis author Katherena Vermette and Harry Giles , Scottish writer and performer from Orkney, took an imaginary walk in Winnipeg, exploring the complex colonial connections between Scotland and Manitoba, and the links that still exist to this day.
Their discussion started at Oodena Circle (in Cree/Ojibway ‘’the Celebration Circle’’) making its way to the Selkirk Statues. During their conversation, they were joined by Ko'ona Cochrane-Saber of the Peguis First Nation, who sang to open the discussion.
