Morgan’s Journey, winner of the prestigious Chalmer’s Canadian Play Award for Outstanding Play, has been delighting children and family audiences for more than two decades. The play is a delightful exploration of joyous, yet sometimes challenging, childhood experiences and offers audiences a unique opportunity for active participation.
From the moment of his birth, we follow Morgan the Clown on a journey of exploration and self-discovery. We celebrate his birthday and share his delight in opening the many presents he receives, including a simple sock puppet that becomes his companion. Through a hurtful, yet common experience of real conflict, Morgan decides to leave behind his longing for ‘more’ and learns a valuable and moving lesson about love and the true meaning of friendship.
