The Caravan Farm Theatre is presenting The Hockey Sweater during its annual winter show.
The professional winter sleigh ride show, The Hockey Sweater will run from Dec. 1, 2026 to Jan. 17, 2027 at the Spallumcheen Farm.
Organizers said the audience will be welcomed by a crackling fire, and the horses and the sleigh rides will course through the fields.
The artistic director, Estelle Shook said the story hits home because it is about a game that the country loves.
“It is also about belonging and community,” Shook added.
She noted that the audience might have a chance to participate in the show.
“Manon and her team are creating a magical celebration of hockey, drawing from Roch Carrier’s tale but also our contemporary hockey game traditions,” she said. “It’s so delightful and so playful.”
Actors with hockey sticks in tow include Evelyn Chew, Carly Pokoradi, Tara Travis and Amelia Sirianni, a Vernon actor.
Cirque clown Colin Heath returns to Caravan as narrator, and fellow Cirque performer Roch Jutras, known in the industry as ‘Clown 911’ for his ability to easily fill in for other artists, will play the central character’s mother
“Colin and Roch are both used to charming those huge stadiums full of Cirque du Soleil audiences, so this winter show will be both hilarious and gorgeous,” Shook emphasized.
There are a range of performance options at 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit caravanfarmtheatre.com or call the box office at 1-866-546-8533.
