Today the Canadiana Musical Theatre Co. performed a play entitled "Emily Carr - Small Wonders."
Before Emily Carr became a famous painter and writer, she was a wild child off on her
own adventure, turning her Victorian world upside down. Her sisters were scandalized
by her unruly behaviour, but this curious, perceptive, sensitive child would rather have
joined the circus than become the proper English girl that her family desired.
"Small Wonders" celebrates the young life of a girl whose intense passion for nature,
animals, and art enabled her to escape the narrow confines of her Victorian era.
We will learn more about Emily Carr and use her work to inspire our work in the classroom.
