In its own words
The year of 2023 for the Caravan Stage Society was a year of transition from the large full scale theatrical productions created and toured on a 90ft sailing vessel to a smaller touring vessel with smaller shows involving mainly animated and cinematic presentations in order to facilitate the delivery to a wider range of communities in the Salish Sea and coastal British Columbia and to tour internationally.
