The current health crisis around the world has changed our lives in so many ways, keeping us indoors and requiring families to find new ways to stay busy, active, and learning. One side effect of this new routine is the incredible innovation we are seeing across the board, where traditional companies are finding creative solutions to keep us all connected.
So it’s no surprise that Montreal’s own Geordie Theatre is leading the way when it comes to offering classes, play dates, and more—entirely online. “In challenging times like these,” states their press release, “we need the arts more than ever.” They have come up with a wide variety of fun, creative, and playful ways for kids and their families to make the most of our time together indoors, and connect with the people all around us.
Starting immediately, you can take advantage of a range of activities and services put together by Geordie Theatre:
