March Break Guide: Piff Paff Poof and a Poof Prize Pack Giveaway

Tuesday, March 08, 2011

March Break is right around the corner and I have a busy week planned. I sometimes wish it were longer than a week. But I have some good news. This March, Toronto will host a new interactive show full of wonder, magic and illusion featuring Canadian magicienne Julie Eng and master magician David Ben of Magicana. Aimed towards children ages 5 to 12 and their families, Piff Paff Poof debuted at the Lower Ossington Theatre on March 5 and will continue to run until March 27, 2011.

“Piff Paff Poof is the perfect production to introduce children to their number one companion – their imagination.” - David Ben.

Created by Magicana, a performing arts and charitable organization, Piff Paff Poof is a "great opportunity for parents and children to take a break from video screens and television sets and share a wonder-filled family journey."

What: Piff Paff Poof is a fun, friendly show where children can interact and take part in the thrills of live theatre. Join magic-maker Eng and Poof! (the mischievous, carrot-loving rabbit) and special guest entertainers Mark Lewis and Richard Lyn (Tricky Ricky) - two of Toronto's most sought-after children's entertainers.

Who: Children aged 5-12 and the young at heart

Where: Lower Ossington Theatre (100A Ossington Avenue, Toronto)

When: March 5, 6, 12*, 13 - 20, 26, 27

*Performance for this date will take place in Studio B.

Time: All performances begin at 3:00 p.m

Cost: Tickets can be purchased online for $25.00 each or 4-packs are available for $80.00 through http://piffpaffpoof.eventbrite.com or by calling (416) 913-9034.
