Welcome to the new home of Theatrix Youtheatre Society. This new upgraded website has been made possible with a grant from the City of Port Coquitlam in partnership with Genmoda.

We have redesigned our program registration system, as well as many enhancements for usability and checkout on mobile devices.

As You Wish is an original musical adaptation of The Princess Bride written by director Lauren Hillman and packed with everything you enjoyed from the beloved classic – adventure, romance, magic, swordfights – and tops it off with original musical numbers like The Bandit Boyz, A Gentleman’s Duel, The Torture Dance, and Mostly Dead.

The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the evil Prince Humperdink, is kidnapped and held against her will in order to start a war. It is up to Westley (now returned as The Dread Pirate Roberts) to battle giants, the fire swamp, and even death to save her.

Summer Performance Camp – Into The Woods

For ages 7 – 12 – (No Auditions Required)

*7 year olds should register for Play Camp unless they have previous experience.

This week long camp is perfect for students who enjoy our Lunchbox Theatre program. Students will learn different acting techniques through a combination of games, exercises, improv, and rehearsals as we work towards creating a mini-musical performance of Steven Sondheim’s Into The Woods. Learn movement, voice, character building, and other acting skills while also developing confidence and having fun.

Into the Woods is a fairy-tale come to life. When a Baker and his wife discover they have been cursed by the witch the next door, they must go into the woods to find the ingredients she needs to reverse the spell. Their search for the magic ingredients weaves through the fairy-tales you already know like Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and the beanstalk, tangling them in a web of comedy. And the best part? This mini-musical adaptation will have you into the woods and out of the woods and home before dark!

Cost: $175
When: July 20 – 24 From 9:30AM – 3:30PM
