Join us this Family Day weekend for a FREE performance of our latest production, 500 Words by Jamie Norris!
This Family Day weekend Green Thumb Theatre, in partnership with Collingwood Neighbourhood House, is thrilled to present a FREE performance of the play 500 Words by Jamie Norris on Saturday, February 15, 2025! Doors open at 9:30 AM. Show starts at 10:00 AM. There are no advance ticket reservations, but we have plenty of space for all. Come early for the best seats!
500 Words follows the story of an unlikely pair, Lance and Sylvia. Lance is the smartest kid in grade six, and never misses an opportunity to show off his vocabulary. Sylvia is a daydreamer in grade three, always coming up with fantastical worlds, but doesn’t always have the words to bring her stories to life. When Lance’s teacher assigns Sylvia as his reading buddy, he would rather spend the time focusing on writing a prize-winning entry for the school’s story competition. But when Lance can’t think of a story on his own, it’s Sylvia’s vibrant imagination that creates a whole world of magic for him to draw inspiration from.
Recommended for ages 5 and up.
