By Morgan Brie Johnson & Alexandra Simpson ~ IN DEVELOPMENT ~ A Theatre Direct Production created by Animacy Theatre Collective and Presented in Partnership with Common Boots Theatre
December 20 & 21, 2025
Developed with the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council and Bad Hats Theatre’s New Bad Ideas program.
A Raccoon Solstice is a family friendly, outdoor, winter show with original live music and vocal arrangements, mask, clown, and puppetry. The play tells the story of five urban raccoons, who, despite their differences, must come together to save the Winter solstice and bring peace, darkness, and rest back to raccoons and humans alike.
In this season the show will undergo three weeks of development, culminating in a presentation of the workshop production for invited audiences. A Raccoon Solstice will premiere as part of Theatre Direct’s 26/27 season.
