WELCOME TO THE 2026-2027 ARTS ADVENTURES SEASON!
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The City of Brampton is located on the traditional territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee (Hoh-dee-noh-shoh-nee) and the Wendat First Nations who have called this land home since time immemorial. We acknowledge the Treaty agreed to in the Ajetance Purchase of 1818 and we are committed to our ongoing role in reconciliation through meaningful action that is rooted in truth, justice and respect. We are grateful to the original caretakers of this land who have ensured we are able to work, play and live in Brampton now and in the future.
GREETINGS, EDUCATORS!
You inspire curiosity, nurture creativity, and help shape the next generation every single day — and that impact is extraordinary. At The Rose, we celebrate the vital role you play in guiding students to discover the world, themselves, and their limitless potential.
We are thrilled to introduce the 2026–2027 Arts Adventures season — a vibrant and engaging lineup of musical theatre, dance, circus, and immersive storytelling, thoughtfully curated to enrich your students’ learning experiences. Each performance is supported by curriculum connections, along with study guides, activities, and resources designed to extend learning before and after your visit.
Live performance has the power to spark curiosity, ignite imagination, and foster meaningful connections that stay with students long after the curtain falls. We look forward to welcoming you and your students to The Rose for a season of inspiration, creativity, and memorable shared experiences.
