Tarragon’s 2026/2027 Sally Stavro Family Series

Tarragon Theatre is thrilled to welcome a new generation of theatre-goers to enjoy the world of imagination and play.

Over the course of the upcoming 26/27 season, Tarragon will present exciting, entertaining, and enchanting cultural experiences for families to enjoy and be part of the magic of art!

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Tarragon is seeking projects (plays, installations, workshops) which are:

• Ready to present/remount or touring during our season.
• Geared towards an audience of children aged 5-12 and their families.
• 45-60 minutes in length.
• Able to set up and strike in under an hour, respectively.
• Self-sufficient and/or minimal in their tech.

A curiosity that investigates artistic form – which may incorporate non-traditional practices and methods of storytelling, and may integrate other disciplines such as movement, music or non-text based performance – and creates an enriching and provocative experience for the young and young at heart.
