Catch Me in The Kitchen

Catch Me in The Kitchen Story Adventures

Who will outsmart “the most handsome, most daring, most petrifyingly feared wolf in all the province of Ontario?” This performance reimagines two classic tales through a lively blend of storytelling and physical theatre, featuring delightful characters and surprising twists.

There are two versions of the performance: one presented in English with occasional French words and expressions, suitable for all schools or introductory-level French learners; and a second, fully bilingual version suitable for French Immersion students.

Catch Me in the Kitchen Workshop 

Students will learn the elements that go into creating and performing a story. To demonstrate how to bring a story to life, Stephen and Ginette will spend the first 20 minutes of the session presenting their version of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. This story will be the framework for fun activities where the students will learn how to create environments, characters and relationships by using their bodies and voices.
