Setting the Scene: The Roots of Toronto Theatre

Hi Folks,

I’m doing a four-part lecture-series for the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre, called: SETTING THE SCENE: The Roots of Toronto Theatre.

They will be given both in person and on Zoom.

The dates are:

Monday: November 25, 2024 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm

Monday: December 2, 2024   1:00 pm to 2:30 pm

Monday: December 9, 2024   1:00 pm to 2:30 pm

Monday: December 16, 2024  1:00 pm to 2:30 pm

I will be covering the beginnings of the theatre scene in Toronto starting with touring companies to the Royal Alexandra Theatre and the O’Keefe Centre etc.; the creation of home-grown Toronto theatre companies such as Tarragon, Factory and Theatre Passe Muraille; companies with a specific focus such as: Toronto Workshop Productions, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Obsidian Theatre Company and Nightwood for example; I’ll note some Canadian plays that changed the face of Canadian Theatre, and a look at what happened to some of the original companies.
