Upper School BVG Players Present Shakespeare’s Classic on Feb 19 & 20
Bayview Glen News, Events, Newsletters and Publications, The Glen, Upper School
Written by Amelie C.,
Grade 10 students, BVG Players Publicity Team
The BVG Upper School Players invite the Bayview Glen community into the enchanting, unpredictable world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where love is rarely simple, magic is always meddling, and nothing stays quite as it seems. This Shakespeare classic, in a new, modern verse translation by Jeff Whitty, weaves together the lives of four young lovers, a mischievous group of amateur performers, and a band of fairies.
This production highlights the play’s playful humour and emotional depth, balancing witty dialogue with moments of tenderness and chaos. The story explores how love can be irrational, powerful, and delightfully absurd.
Behind the scenes, students have been working since September to bring this world to life. Cast and crew have dedicated months to rehearsals – perfecting their characters, developing technical designs, and collaborating with the entire company to shape every detail. Their commitment and creativity shine through in a production that reflects both the timelessness of Shakespeare’s work and the energy of young performers bringing it to the stage.
Our production of Dream 2026 will be performed at 6 p.m. on February 19 and 20 in the J.T.M Guest Theatre, offering audiences an evening filled with imagination, laughter, and theatrical magic.
While tickets are complimentary, we encourage attendees to donate in support of Ontario’s Bill 7 Award, a registered charity that provides post-secondary education scholarships for 2SLGBTQIA+ students.
Please reserve spaces and note accessibility needs here.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Important Work of Growing: Honouring the Pace of Childhood
Bayview Glen News, Events, Newsletters and Publications, Preschool, The Glen
Written by Gillian Potts-Hemingway,
Director of Preschool
At Bayview Glen, our Reggio-inspired preschool programme reflects our belief that every child is capable, curious, and full of potential. Rooted in relationships and guided by inquiry, our educators create spaces where learning unfolds naturally. It is a learning environment where curiosity leads to discovery, and discovery builds confidence and joy. We honour the process of learning, knowing that meaningful growth happens when children are given the time, trust, and encouragement to learn by meeting them where they are.
This philosophy comes to life in our upcoming parent event featuring Lara Pierre, a registered social worker and child and family psychotherapist specializing in early development and family wellbeing. With warmth and insight, Lara will invite parents to pause, reflect, and embrace the wonder of early childhood, sharing a simple but important message that growth and resilience bloom through connection, empathy, and patience.
A quality early learning experience, like ours at Bayview Glen, nurtures not only essential skills but also a deep love of learning that lasts a lifetime. As our early learners continue to grow and journey through the school, we see the foundations built in the preschool years evolve right alongside them. We are helping to build the toolkit that will follow them throughout their lives, one that begins with nurturing that spark of wonder and curiosity.
We invite our parents and community to join us on November 20 as we slow down together to celebrate the beauty of childhood and the powerful learning that happens when we honour each child’s natural rhythm. We encourage you to share with your extended family and friends as this event is also open to families outside the Bayview Glen community as well. Find out more about the event and register below!
In Their Own Time: Honouring the Natural Pace of Early Childhood
Thursday, November 20, 2025
5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Bayview Glen – J.T.M. Guest Theatre
Join us for a complimentary evening with Lara Pierre (MSW, RSW), Child & Family Psychotherapist and Certified Connected Parenting Practitioner to learn more about the natural unfolding of early childhood.
In a world that moves so fast, it’s easy to feel pressure to keep up, to teach more, do more, and plan for what’s next, yet children grow best when they are given time to explore, stumble, and wonder. Through compassionate reflection, courageous perspective, and curious insight, this keynote offers reassurance that when we honour each child’s unique pace, we nurture confidence, joy, and a lifelong love of learning.

Written by Victoria Addorisio,
Prep School Associate Teacher, Prep Players Director
Get ready for chills, laughter, and a touch of mystery with our upcoming Prep Players Production, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. This one-act version, adapted by Peter and Hans Bloedel, brings Washington Irving’s classic ghost story to life with creative twists. This reimagined version captures all the drama, suspense, and humour of the original tale, complete with clever rhymes, an eerie atmosphere, and of course, the haunting presence of the Headless Horseman.
Adding to the magic, three talented ensemble groups work together to bring the world of Sleepy Hollow to life. They embody the headless horseman, the swirling fog, and even the ghostly energy that lingers in the air. Their movement and rhythm help weave together this imaginative retelling.
Full of heart, humour, and a healthy dose of creepy spirit, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow promises to be an unforgettable experience. Join us in the J.T.M. Guest Theatre at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 5, 2026 for a night of ghostly fun and discover what really happens when the Headless Horseman rides again!
