After debuting at the 2015 Winnipeg Fringe Festival, this kids' play is now off to the big city of Toronto.

Blink's Garden never started out as a play. John Janzen, the Community Educator at Siloam Mission, wrote it as an educational poem about poverty and homelessness.

"I know it's easier to get kids engaged in stories than it is with facts and figures," Janzen said. "It just evolved eventually into a stage play."

That play debuted at the 2015 Winnipeg Fringe Festival, selling out multiple times over it's run. Last year, they went to Edmonton and this year, the kids' educational play is in Toronto.

"We sure like Toronto," Janzen said.

The play Blink's Garden was written to talk about ways to help those who are struggling. "You can either throw money over the wall, or you can decide to try and tear down the wall," Janzen said. "The point of the story is to get kids thinking about how we can build walls between each other.

"[The message is to] get kids thinking about looking over those walls and finding different ways of living and engaging with each other."

The festival starts July 5 and the play will run seven times over the course of it.
