Shadowland Theatre works with communities to unearth their distinctive histories, create new stories and celebrate special events. We animate streets, parks, and public spaces with our bold design sensibility and raucous theatricality.
Shadowland Theatre was founded in 1983 on Toronto Island by a collective of visual and theatre artists. Shadowland now has a studio in the Parkdale neighbourhood of Toronto. We continue to work on Toronto Island, and in collaboration with local community organizations throughout the GTA, across Ontario and beyond.
Shadowland has won three Dora Mavor Moore awards for Outstanding Costume Design and was voted Best Grassroots Theatre by Toronto’s NOW magazine.
Shadowland is a proud member of Raucus Caucus, a collective of visual theatre practitioners that includes Puppetmongers, Jumblies Theatre, and Clay & Paper Theatre

"Scents of Home" Walk with Amal Toronto 2023 - Shadowland Theatre
Shadowland’s "Scents of Home" was created in partnership with the Thorncliffe Park Women's Committee in Toronto to welcome Amal!
Amal is a 12’ high puppet of a ten-year-old Syrian refugee girl who is travelling the world in search of home and family, bringing awareness of the journey of those who have fled their homes across the globe.
"Scents of Home" starts with a welcoming of Amal at the library where a familiar memory of her Syrian home is sparked by an image of the world’s most fragrant rose - the Damask Rose.
Led by a host of birds and butterflies, Amal goes on a journey through the community to find the elusive scent of her homeland, encountering other wonderful smells and characters along the way.
'Walk With Amal Toronto' was produced by The Walk Productions and Luminato Festival Toronto in association with Handspring Puppet Company.
