Get Stuffed!
Get Stuffed is a comic opera about serious decisions. The production features vocalizing vegetables along with a big helping of other opinionated edible characters, all competing to influence Zach’s daily diet. A new
Canadian opera for young audiences, Get Stuffed is co‐produced by Tapestry and Words in Motion, and has been developed in association with The Canadian Diabetes Association. This exciting project has allowed Tapestry to align with innovative partners such as the Ontario Trillium Foundation, The Ministry of Health Promotion and the Ontario Agri‐Food Education Inc., to develop extensive educational resources that encompass the arts and culture, education, health, and agriculture sectors.
Written for 5 singing actors and 2 musicians, Get Stuffed is intended for family audiences and touring to schools with a focus on encouraging youth to make wholesome dietary choices. Set in the school cafeteria, Get Stuffed promotes environmentally‐friendly, healthy food choices inspired by the Canada Food Guide with special prominence for fruits and vegetables grown in Ontario. With a story that includes foods representative of Canada’s ethnic diversity this opera will be a feast for young ears, eyes and minds.
In April 2009 the first leg of the Get Stuffed Provincial Tour was kicked off with 36 sold out school performances over three weeks and will reach 10,000 students throughout the GTA and Hamilton.
In spring 2010 an extensive tour of Get Stuffed is planned to the Algoma region and North Bay, Kapuskasing, Blind River, Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay catchment areas. In total, the goal is to present Get Stuffed to 20,000 children in Ontario over 2 years.
For more information or to book a performance please call Amber Ebert, Outreach & Education Director, at (416) 537.6066 x224 or email education@tapestrynewopera.com
