The results are surprising, hilarious and moving.
CHILD-ish is a constellation of creative works: a web series, a live theatre show and an inter-generational process.
Sunny Drake brings you the CHILD-ish web series, where adults speak children's exact words about love, life and the world. Shot at Toronto playgrounds, you can watch the 4 episodes below. We also had virtual events co-hosted by children and teenagers. The live theatre version is finally premiering in Vancouver in Feb 2024, after COVID postponed our trajectory following our sold-out work-in-progress showings at SummerWorks (Toronto) in 2019. The silver lining was getting to create this web series version! #BeMoreChildish

The live theatre show premieries in Vancouver with Pacific Theatre in Feb 2024! Adults speak children’s exact words about love, life and the world in this fresh verbatim work. Drawn from interviews with over 40 whip-smart and brutally honest children, a dynamite adult cast allows an adult audience to hear kids’ ideas and experiences anew. The results are surprising, hilarious and moving. After sold-out work-in-progress showings at the SummerWorks Festival (Canada, 2019), the production trajectory was delayed by Covid - we're thrilled to be bringing the finished show to the stage in 2024!
