I’m doing four lectures on the Roots of Toronto Theatre at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre beginning Nov. 25 and every Monday after that until Dec. 16.
Details below. Please register. It will be fun and informative to know where our theatre companies etc. began.
Setting the Scene: The Roots of Toronto Theatre
Guest speaker: theatre critic Lynn Slotkin
Uncover the vibrant and diverse roots of the Toronto theatre scene! Learn about touring productions to established venues like The Royal Alexandra, Elgin/Wintergarden and O’Keefe Centre, the 1960s explosion of groundbreaking companies Toronto Free Theatre, Theatre Passe Muraille, Tarragon and Factory, and independents who gave voices to specific communities like Nightwood and Obsidian Theatres, Buddies in Bad Times, and Native Earth Performing Arts. What were some seminal Canadian plays? How are these companies today? Join us in-person, on Zoom simulcast, or register to receive the recordings!
