A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for Through the Bamboo! 🌱✨🕺🫧☀️

Despite having to cancel five of our eleven shows due to heat, smoke and thunderstorms (oh my 😩⛈️), we made the most of every moment we had onstage and in the park! The reception to the show has been humbling and heartwarming. Through the Bamboo would not have been what it was without the support of our audiences and volunteers - we are endlessly grateful for this incredible community. Thank you for opening your hearts to, and showing up for, this little show that could! Relevant, accessible theatre is alive and well in Weston, and we’re so glad you chose to be a part of it. 🥲

The bad news: this afternoon’s 2PM show has been CANCELLED due to inclement weather. ⛈️⛈️⛈️

The GOOD news: We still have another show today at 7pm that will be going ahead, AND we have added an extra performance tomorrow, Sunday, July 19th at 7pm!

That gives you a total of three more chances to make it out to Through the Bamboo!

TONIGHT, Saturday, July 18th at 7PM
and TOMORROW, Sunday, July 19th at 2pm & 7PM

We had over a hundred people join us last night in Little Ave Memorial Park - help us make this weekend one to remember here in the heart of Weston with this magical show!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Artistic & Access Producer Mandy E. MacLean.

We’ll see you soon!

We are so excited to be back onstage tonight! We had such a beautiful opening weekend last weekend and we can’t wait to reignite that energy in Memorial Park tonight.

Check out these snaps from our opening night celebration and our first couple of shows! There were puppets, there were bubbles, there was food, there were DOGS! And of course, at the heart of it all was (and is) a tender, joyful, fantastical Filipinx-Canadian tale that left more than a few of us teary-eyed by the end of the night. 🥲

Missed out on opening weekend? There’s four more chances to catch the show and get swept up in the magical world of Uwi!

TONIGHT, Friday, July 17th, 7PM
Saturday, July 18th, 2PM & 7PM
Sunday, July 19th, 2PM

We are absolutely thrilled to confirm that tonight’s show is a go! We will see you at Little Ave Memorial Park tonight at 7pm. Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your neighbour, bring your dog, bring a blanket! Air quality levels are currently low risk, but extra water and a well-fitting mask can also be helpful if you’ve noticed any discomfort from the smoke these past couple days.

We can’t wait to welcome you back into the park! Can’t make it tonight? We have two shows tomorrow, 2pm and 7pm, and our final show at 2pm on Sunday. Lots of options to catch this special show before it closes!

See you at the park! 🌳

07/16/2026

You don’t want to see it… we don’t want to have to say it… but tonight’s performance of Through the Bamboo is CANCELLED due to continuing unsafe air quality as a result of wildfire smoke. 

Our hearts go out to the communities, lands and ecosystems being ravaged by these fires. We encourage you to offer your support where possible - some resources for where to send e-transfers/drop off donations can be found at . Please feel free to share others in the comments! We can also support our unhoused neighbours, who are most exposed to the effects of poor air quality, by carrying/distributing things like water bottles, electrolyte drinks, and N95 masks (or similar).

We have our fingers crossed that we will be able to go ahead tomorrow, but please stay tuned for updates. Any questions or concerns can be emailed to Artistic & Access Producer Mandy E. Maclean at [email protected].

As extreme weather conditions this week have significantly affected the length of our run, we would love your help continuing to build the buzz for our remaining shows. Like, share & comment, tell your friends, bring your people! This incredible show deserves to be seen. We’ll see you this weekend!
