Since 1985, the Ottawa Children’s Festival (OCF) has existed as a community based program to surround young people with excellence in the performing arts that:
- Engages instinctive creativity
- Excites boundless imagination
- Encourages individual expression
The theatre I have seen at the OCF goes far beyond mere entertainment - it engages the minds, the hearts, and even the bodies of my students. It fulfills the purpose of Arts education in one of its highest forms: a full soul experience that feeds students’ imaginations, shows them what is possible and what it is to be human.
~ Barbara Brockmann, Glashan Public School
I have been taking my students to the Ottawa Children's Festival for the past number of years for one reason only. It is simply the best representation of the style of children's theatre that I have seen in my years as a teacher. There is an intelligence, creativity and professionalism second to none in the companies that make up the festival each year. There is no pandering or condescension to the audiences and the work always sparks discussion and excitement in my students. It is simply a joy to have this festival right here in Ottawa.
~ Paul Griffin – Canterbury High School
