Winter Warmer Festival
Our 2026 Winter Warmer Festival is about to Kick Off!
Check out our events and enjoy some warmth during the cold season.
Let’s Play –
Day Camp for Kids!
Since many kids have a day off school we thought we would hold a one day camp for kids as a part of our our WINTER WARMER FESTIVAL!
This day of camp will be at the Arts and Culture Centre.
Wednesday February 25th, 7-9pm
Programming will run from 10-3:30pm, with drop off at 9:45-10am and pick up 3:30-4pm.
This is aimed at students age 7-14 years old.
The day will consist of:
- Group games
- Theatre activites such as improv games, character development, learning a short song and dance and other creative play
- We will have two short breaks and a lunch break. Note that food is NOT provided.
- There is no official presentation at the end of the camp; this is a skills and creativity focused day camp
Playing with Story Shapes –
A Writing Workshop
With Ivan J White
Bring your favorite writing tool (pen and paper, laptop, tablet, etc.), or a short piece and practice the artful shaping of the raw material of storytelling.
Your writing style is your own here, we’re in discussion about moving from content to presentation by uncovering your own perspective as the focus.
For all ages. Recommended for 13yrs+.
Thursday, February 26th, 7-9:30pm
Stories Through Songs –
A Performance Workshop
With Andrew Perry and Garry Williams
Bring your favourite musical theatre song and we will work to coach you through the performance of it. Whether this is a competition piece, or maybe you are getting into theatre again after years away from the stage, a first timer who wants to try something new, we will focus on acting through song, confidence and vocal placement and give you a great toolbox to bring your performance to the next level.
This workshop is recommended for those who are 12yrs+. If you are younger than that, please reach out at info@stephenvilletheatrefestival.com so we can make sure this is the right class for you.
Creation –
Play in a Day Workshop and Performance!
We will give you a few prompts, run a few creative activities and see where the ideas take us. A team of professional writers and creatives will work with you to foster your ideas into scenes, songs, dances and monologues. Over the course of 8 hours of creative time we will see where things take us and work to create a 10 minute play/performance piece that will have the option of being presented as a part of the Community Spotlight Night on February 28th at the ACC.
