2Play Tour

Geordie’s annual seven-month 2Play Tour (the longest in Canada) makes its way across Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick, visiting schools, libraries and community centres. Geordie annually visits such communities as the Eastern Townships, the Lower North Shore, the Gaspé, the Magdalen Islands, the Abitibi and the Outaouais. Often, our shows are the only theatre these communities are exposed to.
