Morgan’s Journey is performed and was created by six-time Chalmers Award-winning playwright Robert Morgan with David S. Craig, director of the original production.
Morgan’s Journey, winner of the prestigious Chalmer’s Canadian Play Award for Outstanding Play, has been delighting children and their families around the world for more than two decades. The play is a captivating exploration of joyous yet challenging childhood experiences and offers audiences a unique opportunity for active participation.
From the moment of his birth, we follow Morgan on a journey of discovery. We delight in the presents he receives along the way, especially the last one, a wise sock puppet who becomes his companion. Encountering inevitable growing pains, Morgan learns a valuable and moving lesson about love and the true meaning of friendship.
