SAMAJAM Brings the Beat to Over 3,500 Students at Centre In The Square

Centre In The Square was bursting with rhythm, colour, and pure excitement as SAMAJAM hit the stage for two unforgettable performances as part of our Education Series. More than 3,500 elementary students from across Waterloo Region filled the theatre and became part of the show in a fully interactive musical experience.

From the moment the lights went up, students were clapping, drumming, singing, and dancing along. With instruments in hand and smiles on their faces, the young audience helped bring the performance to life in true SAMAJAM fashion.

For many, this was their first time attending a live performance in a professional theatre setting. The energy in the room was electric, and the joy was contagious. Teachers, chaperones, and Centre staff alike were thrilled to see the theatre buzzing with enthusiasm and participation.

Thank you to all the schools that joined us and helped make this event such a vibrant success. Moments like these remind us why live arts matter — they inspire, educate, and bring communities together.
