Directed and created by two acclaimed and innovative theatre professionals, Brantwood is the largest production of immersive, site-specific musical theatre in Canadian history.
At Sheridan College, audience members are greeted as the final graduating class of a fictional Brantwood High and transported by yellow school bus to their "alma mater" for a reunion before the school's closing for a redevelopment project.
An unexpected event hurls the audience back in time to explore a century of adolescent life and hot topics through the ages.
In choose-your-own-adventure style, spectators decide which of the 11 different storylines to follow at any time in a production featuring 100 characters played by 40 actors, 200 scenes, and 40 musical numbers and unexpected dance sequences - with 15 scenes occurring simultaneously at any given time.
