Event Description
Plunge into a breathtaking theatrical adventure where icebergs drift, waves crash, and life teems above and below the sea. Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia's stunning new production, Ocean Blue, brings the mystery and majesty of our oceans to life with spectacular puppetry, immersive design, and heartwarming storytelling. From the chilly Arctic waters where walruses lounge and gulls soar, to the sun-dappled seas where baby beluga whales dance and hammerhead sharks dart beneath the waves to avoid orcas, Ocean Blue is a vibrant celebration of marine ecosystems and the extraordinary creatures that call them home.
