Every day, Nicky wakes up with knots in her stomach and worries in her brain. While most kids can’t wait for recess so they can hit the playground, anxious Nicky would rather spend her time safely hidden away in the school’s sick room with her Big Book of Birds. In the sick room, Nicky can enjoy her routine in peace and quiet – but when Milo, a rambunctious boy with diabetes, comes barreling into her life, Nicky’s peace and quiet turns to chaos! At first, these polar opposites’ worlds collide, but as time goes on, cautious Nicky and adventurous Milo both come to discover they may have more to learn from each other than they think.
Our in-person shows will only be presented if Public Health orders deem it safe to do so. Payment is not required until the date of your performance, so you can book with confidence!

You are amazing. How did you pick the name green thumb theatre ?
Hi! I really liked the play "what if" ! my question is: did you ever get stage fright before?
Hello. Today you preformed "What If" at my school. I'm wondering why Nicky’s main focus was birds? Why not cats or dogs? Also does Milo really know how to do ventriloquism?
Ok, so I loved the show you guys performed at my school. I have meglaphobia and pediophobia so the big penguin suit and Fred the puppet kinda freaked me out. Haha. But, I was wondering if you had a favorite scene while performing.
Hello my name is Audrey. This is for Paige and Teo who came to my school and did the play "What If". I really loved it . Milo was very funny and I especially liked his fanny pack 😂. Paige do you like🍱?
Did you go to school to be actors?
You did very well making the show. I really enjoyed your show.
Did Teo the actor in this really have diabetes?
Hi. I’m a grade 4 and I have a question. Do you guys use planes to travel? If yes, do the actors pay for their flights or does Green Thumb pay?
Hi Green Thumb. Thanks for a great show. We loved it! My question is why didn't Milo put his head behind the doll to hide his lips moving?

When you guys were little did you get nervous like Nicki in the play? sometimes I get nervouse too.

Hey Green Thumb! I watched this show on Monday at Van Horne Elementary as a grade seven and let me say I loved it! I was always interested in theatre but when I saw your performance I was mind blown. I would love to work in the showbiz one day! Do you have any idea or suggestion I can do right now to help me succeed my dream in the future? By the way, I was one of those girls who helped with carrying the stuff from the van to the gym!
