Starring prominent members of Montreal's corporate and legal community, this popular theatre event plays a crucial role in allowing Geordie to present over 300 shows per season to over 80,000 audience members both young and young-at-heart.

The monies raised through Geordie's annual fundraising production plays a vital role in bringing high-quality, professional, English-language theatre to youth across the province. In a time of dwindling resources for culture, every ticket sold for the fundraiser contributes directly to keeping Geordie in the financially precarious business of bringing the magic of live theatre to kids. Your support helps keep arts and culture in the hearts and minds of thousands of children not only in the Montreal area, but in communities large and small, from James Bay to the Magdalen Islands.
