As part of our annual Spring Production at the Trappist Monastery Heritage Park, we offer special matinee performances just for schools. These early-access performances are scheduled during school hours and allow students a first-hand experience of our unique, outdoor, promenade-style theatre.

Shakespeare in Stony Mountain
Shakespeare in Stony Mountain (SISM) brings the Bard into the classroom at Stony Mountain Penitentiary where participants explore the themes in Shakespeare’s most famous plays through discussion and performance. It is a powerful program aimed at helping participants to build self-confidence and the capacity for self-discovery through exposure to arts education.
