Caravan Stage Society Inc.
Come see the magic on the caravan stage
The Caravan Stage Society Inc. has a most unique theatre venue -- a 30 meter tall ship, the Caravan Stage Tall Ship Theatre. After 27 years of touring contemporary professional theatre the Caravan now tours its innovative theatrical productions on to the deck of the Amara Zee, a unique Ship Theatre, now sailing and performing in Europe.
HISTORY
Created in 1970, by Paul Kirby and Adriana Kelder, the Caravan started as a one wagon puppet show traveling on Vancouver island it grew to become a major theatrical organization with a 25 person company of actors, musicians, artists and technicians touring in six large wagons each one pulled by a team of matched bay Clydesdales.
The mandate of the Caravan was to bring original theatrical productions directly into the lives of people who seldom had the opportunity to experience the performing arts.
In 1993, after spending a year creating and producing a spectacular seven hour show on the state of the earth's environment, entitled "THE COMING", with performances at the World Theatre Festival in Toronto, the Caravan embarked on a new dream - the Caravan StageBarge.
COME SEE THE MAGIC ON THE CARAVAN STAGE TALL SHIP THEATRE
Consider the number of people, communities and cities on the shores of all the rivers, inland waterways and coastal waters in Europe and beyond. Consider reaching these people with a theatrical venture that comes to them on the very waters that lap their harbors and waterfronts. Consider watching a show being performed on the deck of a tall ship with the natural elements always at play: the audience sitting on the earth, with the backdrop of the water and a roof of open air! This is what you have with the Caravan Stage Tall Ship Theatre.
The Caravan Stage Company is supported by Neutrik.
