Project X Theatre is now accepting submissions to audition for Theatre Under the Trees 2026.
Theatre Under the Trees is an annual outdoor theatre festival for families and a summer tradition for Kamloops families. We respectfully acknowledge that we create and perform on the unceded territory of the Tk'emlúps te Secwe̓pemc. We believe we have a responsibility to the land and the community. Through our programming, we strive to make choices that support the artistic voices of the future.
This summer, we are delighted to produce Robin Hood by Greg Banks and The Paper Bag Princess, book by Robert Munsch and play adaptation by Alissa Watson.
