The 2017 Carousel Caravan took place on October 26. The evening featured the announcement of our Norah Morgan Award, the introduction of our incoming Artistic Director, and readings from three new plays in development.

Thanks to the support of our generous donors and patrons, Carousel Players raised more than $12,000 so that we can offer ten performances to schools with limited resources and continue developing new plays for young audiences.

Caravan supporters also donated $1,500 to the Debra McLauchlan Memorial Fund, which funds our artist-in-the-classroom program, Playlinks.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported the Caravan for helping Carousel Players bring the magic of theatre to the young people of Niagara and beyond!
