A Narnia-themed multimedia experience (from Nov. 13 to Jan. 4)
In collaboration with OCAD University, Soulpepper Theatre is transforming its lobby and exterior façade into a magical winter forest during the annual Winter Village at Toronto's historic Distillery District. Inspired by Soulpepper's hosting of Bad Hat Theatre’s production of Narnia, visitors can tour a multimedia, immersive experience that extends the magical world of Narnia beyond the stage.
Experience whimsical stop-motion paper animations of puppets of Narnia characters created by OCAD U students, and marvel at a large, hanging sculpture enhanced by digital effects and projections.
OCAD U merchandise pop-up (from Nov. 13 to Dec. 28)
OCAD U will host a merchandise pop-up in the lobby throughout the winter village, with a set of clothing and gifts designed for this partnership.
OCAD U alum marketplace (from Dec. 15 to 24, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily)
Visitors can shop for handcrafted items created by OCAD U alums in a marketplace adjacent to the Soulpepper lobby.
