Family Purim Carnival
Featuring Clay & Paper Theatre

Saturday February 27, 2010
11:00 a.m.
Winchevsky Centre, 585 Cranbrooke Avenue

Hurry, Hurry! Come one, come all! To the Winchevsky Centre's best-ever Family Purim Carnival! This fun-filled morning will include a variety of entertaining activities for the whole family, including:

Out amongst the community bake-ovens and lush gardens of Toronto's Dufferin Grove Park, Clay & Paper Theatre has been changing the world with medieval mystery plays, Punch and Judy shows, African myths, Indonesian shadow puppetry and Native Canadian masks. Since its birth in 1994, Clay & Paper has been using its own brand of narrative theatre and larger-than-life puppetry as a means of animating public space -- igniting community festivity and celebration for a wide cross-section of the local population. Clay & Paper's continuing community project, Building Local Stories, represents the company's commitment to developing and performing theatre that is embedded in local histories. Yearly productions include Day of Delight, a multi-disciplinary festival celebrating love, courtship and desire coinciding with the summer solstice and the annual Night of Dread community parade and Halloween celebration.

Admission is $12.00 for adults; $8.00 for children aged 3-12; $3.00 for children under 3 years of age, with reduced rates for members.

Carnival tickets: 5 for $1.00. Games: 1-3 tickets; Make-your-own-pizza: 4 tickets.

Admission includes homentashn (traditional Purim triangle-shaped cookies) and drinks.

In keeping with the Purim tradition of helping the needy ('Shalakh Mones'), a portion of the carnival proceeds will be donated to Feed the Children in support of Haiti.
