The company has represented Canada in the United States, Australia, Mexico, England, Northern Ireland, Holland, Scotland, Wales, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Singapore, and has toured Japan on eight occasions.

Innovative Programming:
Mermaid Theatre's emphasis on imaginative design elements, original music, and challenging texts provides a rich opportunity to acquaint young spectators with the visual and performing arts as well as with the pleasures of reading. In addition to its international engagements, Mermaid Theatre tours throughout Nova Scotia each year, traveling with a specially designed program designed to stimulate classroom learning as well as enthusiasm for the art of puppetry.
