The Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People is not only determined to produce some of the best kids theatre in Canada for its 45th season — it’s also willing to import the rest from around the country. In a new season announced Monday, artistic director Allen McInnis outlined ambitious plans on both fronts.

In the 2010-11 season, LKTYP will offer its own new productions of Michele Riml’s THE INVISIBLE GIRL, Robert and Willie Reale’s A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD — based on the books by Arnold Lobel — James Durham’s THE BIG LEAGUE, and a reprise of I THINK I CAN by Florence Gibson and Shawn Byfield. All shows will be presented on the company’s mainstage.

But it doesn’t stop there. The new season will also include Concrete Theatre’s production of Collin Doyle’s ROUTES; Theatre Tout a Trac’s production of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, adapted by Hugo Belanger and translated by Maureen Labonte; Hank’s Toybox Theatre’s AS YOU PUPPET in the Studio space; as well as Green Thumb Theatre’s production of Joan MacLeod’s THE SHAPE OF A GIRL, in the mainstage space.
