FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL de CASTELIERS
March 3-7, 2027
You're invited to join members of the O’Neill Leadership team for a special journey to Montréal this March to experience the Festival International de Casteliers—one of the world’s premier celebrations of contemporary puppetry arts. From poetic shadow plays and large-scale outdoor spectacles to exquisite object theater and cutting-edge multimedia performances, the festival showcases master puppeteers and innovative companies from across the globe.
Your tour includes four nights at the Hôtel St-Thomas, a minimum of six performances shared with O'Neill leadership, an exclusive talkback, a welcome cocktail reception, continental breakfast daily, two intimate group dinners, a seven-day Metro pass, and the Montréal Mural Walking Tour.
To learn more and receive registration forms, contact John Reinschmidt by emailing development@theoneill.org or by using the button below.

“As relative newcomers to puppet theater, we found this deep dive into the art form both eye-opening and entertaining. The O’Neill’s international reputation and wide circle of alums ensured that all doors were open to us in Montréal!”
— Ellen Cordes & Harry Haskell (2026 Casteliers Trip Participants)
