Masks & Merriment: A Holiday Celebration

An Afternoon of Festive Family Fun with Odyssey Theatre!

Get into the holiday spirit with Odyssey Theatre for an afternoon of creativity, entertainment, and festive fun for the whole family!

Join us on Sunday, December 6, from 2:00–5:00 PM at Arts Court for our fundraising celebration, featuring hands-on mask-making, live performances, seasonal treats, and a special winter-themed silent auction.

Create Your Own Holiday Mask Decoration!

Make something special to take home this holiday season! Our artists will guide you through creating your very own miniature mask, perfect for hanging on your Christmas tree or displaying as a festive decoration around your home. You'll mold your mask, dream up your design, and bring it to life with paint, colourful accessories, and creative embellishments. All materials are provided, and participants of all ages are welcome!

More Than Just Mask-Making!

Between steps, enjoy a wonderful variety of holiday-inspired performances, including stories, poetry, and songs celebrating the many cultural traditions that bring families and friends together at this time of year. We'll also have delicious seasonal treats, concessions, a cash bar, and a special winter-themed silent auction featuring activities and experiences for the whole family.

How It Works

Doors open at 2:00 PM, and guests can arrive anytime during the afternoon. When purchasing tickets, select your mask-making start time: 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, or 4:00 PM.

Your selected time is when you'll begin creating your mask. The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy performances, prepare your decorations, add finishing touches to your creation, and celebrate with us!
