Downtown Drama
Lyndesfarne Theatre Projects is pleased to announce the launch of its youth-based community outreach program
providing at-risk youth with an exciting opportunity to
engage in a process of self-discovery, develop valuable skills and experience the power of the arts as a medium for self-expression.
Our project provides young people from downtown St. Catharines with the opportunity to share their stories and contribute to our community’s consciousness of a particularly vulnerable sector of our population.
Grey Matters
Grey Matters is our unique program for older adults, facilitated by trained and experienced professionals. Our elders have a wealth of history, wisdom and talent to share with each other and our entire community. Based in the ancient tradition of storytelling, this program is designed to gently encourage participants to tap into their memories and talents and guide them in the creation of a very special evening to be shared by young and old, families and friends. Recorded archives of the workshop are made by permission of the participants.
One of the only programs of its kind in Ontario!
