Fantasticanta Playhouse

The vision for our non-profit federal corporation…
​We want to make a new planet for Canadians! Fantasticanta Playhouse will create an environment that leads our children down a path towards success and happiness. 
 
We want to inspire people to look away from their screens and get active, creative and fun! We will provide the perfect opportunity for this.
 
Parents can drop their children off when they are busy. There will be a nurse present to keep the kids safe.
 
Kids will have a huge amount of fun, as well as learn and increase their IQ at Fantasticanta Playhouse.
 
It will be membership-based. Only members will be able to access the Playhouse (like Costco, a club, or community centre, for example).
 
We can perhaps provide a similar concept for people with disabilities as well, to provide enjoyment and opportunities  to integrate with people who do not have disabilities. Information, skills and experience will be shared. 

Fantasticanta is also hoping to recruit youth, individuals with disabilities and seniors on paid and voluntary basis.
 
Fantasticanta Playhouse takes inspiration from organisations such as KidZania, Famous People Players, and Disney/Universal:

“KidZania is an interactive city made for children 1-14 that combines inspiration, fun and learning through realistic role-play. Kids can independently explore a scaled city of over 7,000 square meters with more than 100 exciting careers that they can try.
​
Fueled by a child’s natural desire to create, explore and collaborate, KidZania is equal parts entertainment and learning, making it one of the most progressive family entertainment concepts in the world today.

Through ultrarealistic role-play, children learn about different careers, the inner-workings of a city and the concept of managing money. Each experience is designed to empower kids, giving them the confidence to be their best selves, and inspiration to be great global citizens. 

Each KidZania facility offers experiences that are relevant to each region, culture and geography by way of professions, entertainment and food.
At every location, KidZania uses real-world fun and learning to ready kids for a better world.

Role-playing is an embedded behavior in children. They perform it naturally without previous learning or adult explanations. Unlike other activities that include directions, such as sports or video games, children only need to watch an adult doing something before beginning to imitate them.!
 
Famous People Players:  “…uses “light and sound. It is something for the kids and also for grown-ups. The magic of the theatre, the magic of diversion, the magic that compels one to say ‘That’s Entertainment’.”
…and “offers a unique experience – teaching kids of all ages to push beyond any limitations they may perceive having, and to rise to the best of their true selves. With achievements from those who have dared to believe in themselves.”

Famous People Players also gets people with disabilities involved.
 
Disney and Universal: Disney and Universal both use examples of animatronics, which children enjoy to watch and engage with.  This idea of using animatronics would be included in Fantasticanta Playhouse. In Disneyland there are also themed buildings from movies (such as a princess’s castle) that resemble characters and animations. This inspiration will be used to incorporate  characters in costumes from different movies into Fantasticanta Playhouse for the entertainment of the children. Theatre and shows will also be a part of Fantasticanta Playhouse’s programming for members to enjoy.
