The Company That Created Pin Pin The Eggsplorer

Twisted Dog Theatre started with a big dream.
The dream was to start a theatre in Toronto that could entertain families with children by showing them the best performances, selected with great love for the little audience. We don’t just put on a play, we first of all select it as parents that want the best for their children.

We want this theatre to become a prominent spot for family entertainment in our city. We select only the most cherished and captivating stories and turn them into performances.

We treat this theatre as a family business, and just like any family business, we put all our time and energy into it.

Twisted Dog is a family run theatre for families.
