In a fusion of sounds from her childhood, Missy draws inspiration from French melodies to r&b, soul, jazz, hip hop, rock and rap legends. Missy D will have you feeling all the feels and singing YES MAMA as she embraces diversity in instrumentals, music and most of all, people.

Our Impact
Testimonials
I absolutely love this festival, my child and I look forward to it every year.
The mix of live theatre, muisc, dance and circus shows from Canada and all over the world.
We had a fantastic time here. Saw Cirque Zuma Zuma with my 3 year old daughter — she was engaged for the entire hour of the performance! Lots of great activities, which are included in the price when you buy a show ticket.
I think everyone came out of the theatre with much to think about. For most in my class this was the first time they had ever seen live theatre. It is so much better than a movie. Thank you so much.
