The Sally Stavro Family Series: The Assembly

Looking for a unique way to engage the kids? The Assembly, presented by the Tarragon Theatre in partnership with Colouring Book Theatre, is an interactive performance that turns the audience into active participants. Designed for ages 8-12, this show is part theatre, part board game, and entirely memorable.

What to Expect In this production, young audience members become the governing body of Toronto. Over the course of the performance, they are tasked with making decisions that impact the city’s future over seven years of gameplay. It’s a fun, educational way to explore complex themes like sustainability, civic responsibility, and the long-term impact of our choices. Because the outcome of each performance depends on the decisions made by the audience, no two shows are exactly the same.

Why You Should Go It’s rare to find theatre that is this engaging for children. Instead of just sitting and watching, they get to be part of the story. It’s a great way to spark conversations about how our city works and why the decisions we make today matter for the future. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to introduce kids to the magic of live theatre in a way that feels relevant and exciting to them.

Practical Information The show takes place on April 18th at 11:30 am at the Tarragon Theatre on Bridgman Ave. It’s a relatively short performance, making it perfect for a morning outing. The Tarragon is a staple of Toronto’s theatre scene, and this family series is a wonderful addition to their programming. Be sure to book your tickets in advance to secure your spot in The Assembly.
