The Juvenis Festival is Kingston’s youth arts festival; one of only two youth arts festivals in all of Canada! The Juvenis Festival is a ten-day series of art-based workshops, musicals, and projects that Blue Canoe puts on in the Spring.Each event is headed by a Youth Project Leader (YPL) who is between the ages of 13-30 and is supported by a local mentor. These events are bolstered by the partnerships we form within Kingston’s community, keeping the arts alive and offering professional opportunities for youth. Juvenis gives young people an opportunity to act, sing, dance, perform, and showcase their artistic talents, as well as take free workshops to build on their interests and skills. While our workshops are targeted to youth, we invite community members of all ages to take in Juvenis productions and events!
“Anne of Green Gables follows the misadventures of a wildly independent orphan with fiery red hair and a temper to match. Cherished by generations, L.M. Montgomery’s timeless classic comes to life in a new musical commissioned by the award-winning Theatreworks USA.
Anne Shirley is mistakenly sent to live with a plainspoken farmer and his spinster sister, who thought they were adopting a boy! She wins over the Cuthberts and all of Prince Edward Island with her irrepressible spirit and imagination — and wins over audiences with this warm, poignant story about love, home and family.” – MTI
