Thousands of students saw the Bluenose school tour during February and March 2003. Hundreds of families enjoyed the mainstage production at the D.B. Clarke Theatre. The show was co-produced by Geordie Theatre and Black Theatre Workshop and directed by Robert Astle, with costumes and set design by Eo Sharp and music and sound effects by Tim Rideout. Bluenose featured the following cast:

Ratt	.........	Julie Tamiko Manning
Spatt	.........	Omari Newton
Knat	.........	Lindsay Owen Pierre
Ku	.........	Glenda Braganza

Knat, Ku, Spatt and Ratt struggle to stay afloat on the Shark de Triomphe.

Knat – who has a way with words – prepares to "surgerate" on Ratt.

"Is the air I breathe blue, too?" asks Ku.
