Current Production

HTYP is excited to announce: Brunibár!

Brundibár will be coming to the Sir James Dunn theatre May 16 – 19th. 

Brundibár is an opera written for children and performed at the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp. No more than forty minutes long, it received its premiere in German-occupied Prague at the Jewish Orphanage before the mass transports of Jews to Theresienstadt began in 1942. 

The show will be directed by Artistic Director Tessa Mendel, with musical direction by Eszter Horvath, and the production will feature professional musicians, including Scott MacMillan and members of Symphony Nova Scotia, children from the local community and professional set and lighting designers. The production, along with an educational component, guest speakers and a photography exhibit will take place at Sir James Dunn Theatre in May, 2019 with performances for both schools and the public.

If you or someone you know wants to get involved with Brundibár, let us know! We have a few roles left to fill, and the chorus is open to any school-age child or youth who is interested!
Rehearsals will be Tuesdays from 4-7pm beginning February 12th, and three Saturdays (Mar. 9th, Apr. 6th, & May 4th). 
Contact us at htypinfo@gmail.com if you want to be involved
