Welcome to a new 2009-2010 season with Prologue to the Performing Arts!
For 42 years, Prologue has been delivering top-quality performances to students and teachers across the province. Our artists and companies visit school gymnasiums, classrooms and libraries to present live performances that are curriculum related and help students of all ages meet the expectations of the Ontario Curriculum.
We are proud to offer Ontario schools one unique price. Thanks to our funders and supporters, the performance price for each artist and company includes all touring costs. There are no additional charges and Ontario schools pay the same price no matter where they are located.
Our programming offers educators the opportunity to use a creative approach in delivering the curriculum and unveil endless possibilities for your students.

ArtsSmarts/GénieArts Projects

The Paula Awards
The Paula Awards are named in recognition of the extraordinary contribution made by Paula and David Butterfield to Prologue’s Arts’ Endowment Fund. The interest received from the Fund has been used fully, or in part, to enable a work for young audiences by one or more Prologue artists and companies to be brought to completion. In the past eight years, twenty-four awards have been made to Prologue artists and companies.
Showcases
Prologue invites teachers, principals, parents and volunteers from all district school boards to attend special events that showcase performances from Prologue artists and companies.
