Description

Saturday, January 24, 2026 – 1 & 4 p.m. Traditional Performances
Sunday, January 25, 2026 – 2 p.m. Sensory Inclusive Performance

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s newest production, BILLY GOATS GRUFF & OTHER TALES, presents a fresh and engaging reimagining of three cherished children’s stories –“Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” “The Three Little Pigs,” and “The Three Billy Goats Gruff.” Filled with adventure, humor, and heroism, the story follows a brave raccoon and clever mouse who are on a journey to collect treasure. Along the way, they unknowingly help the goats, bears, and pigs, preventing disaster – without any of the animals ever encountering a true villain. This imaginative retelling seamlessly interweaves three classic tales into a heartwarming adventure that celebrates friendship and courage.

SENSORY INCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE

In the sensory inclusive performance on Sunday, January 25, you can expect a reduction of loud or jarring sounds, the absence of flashing or strobe lighting on stage, modification of house lights during the performance, and a judgment-free environment where all patrons are free to vocalize or move around the theatre. There are trained staff members at the performance to help with any questions or needs during your visit. At no time will anyone be asked to leave the performance due to vocal reactions, movement, or behaviors related to cognitive or developmental abilities.

FREE PRESHOW ACTIVITIES

Make your theatre experience a day to remember! An hour before the show, families are invited to join us in the third-floor reception room for free preshow activities! Immerse yourselves in a world of creativity and excitement with engaging crafts and activities. It’s a perfect opportunity for young theatre enthusiasts and their families to bond, unleash their creativity, and build anticipation for the exciting upcoming performance!
