THEATRE THAT INSPIRES
Workshops that Educate
Since 1991, Green Kids has produced professional theatre for families and young audiences, featuring a host of Winnipeg’s brightest performing artists and craftspeople.
ABOUT US
Founded in 1991, Green Kids Inc. is a Winnipeg-based, incorporated charitable theatre organization dedicated to environmental education through performance—what we proudly call Theatre for the Planet. Starting out as activists, we have grown to offer programming for kids, families and the general public, creating participatory theatrical experiences that make environmental and community issues feel real, urgent, and personal.
We explore environmental science through theatre, allowing participants to imagine, empathize and laugh, all while understanding the serious issues we face. We inspire audiences and participants to be gentler on our planet, giving them both hope and accountability through meaningful yet simple changes in daily habits, with tangible goals. Our programming is informative, realistic, and optimistic, emphasizing community spirit and individual action, with the message that every little bit of help is an invaluable contribution.
We strive to inspire young people and their families to be gentler on our planet, giving them both hope and accountability through meaningful yet simple changes in daily habits, with tangible goals.
Our Mandate
Our mandate is to create artistic, engaging and memorable theatrical experiences that promote environmental stewardship and empower people of all ages to participate in climate protection. Grounded in sustainable practices, we are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in all the work we do.
Our Mission
Our artistic mission is to inspire positive change through performance, helping audiences imagine, empathize, and connect with the urgent environmental issues facing our planet.
Our Method
Through love of theatre -story, play, and emotional engagement- we elicit connection and real action.
Land Acknowledgment
We are on Treaty 1 land, the home of Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, Long Plains First Nation, Peguis First Nation, Roseau River Anishinaabe First Nation, Sagkeeng First Nation, Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation, Swan Lake First Nation and the birthplace of the Red River Métis.
We acknowledge that our drinking water in the City of Winnipeg is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, a community who from 1997 to 2021 lived under a boil water advisory, while Winnipeggers used this resource from their land with little thanks and no reciprocity.
Green Kids is working to educate and inspire future generations of environmentalists, while taking our cues from Indigenous water and land protectors, the original environmentalists on this land.
As we learn and grow, this Land Acknowledgement will too.
