The McManus Stage offers such a unique opportunity: up close encounters with plays that were meant to be experienced in close proximity. Now more than ever we need to hear the voices of Canadian women: this insightful play from Hannah Moscovitch explores behaviours and attitudes of days gone by, which have an unset- tling resonance today. The play is a stunning articulation of her ability to combine dark subject matter with biting humour. This production comes to us from 2b theatre — a theatre company from the east coast known for its crisp, stylized productions.

This music-theatre hybrid starring genre-bending sensation Ben Caplan is inspired by the true stories of two Jewish Romanian refugees coming to Canada in 1908. Playwright Hannah Moscovitch wrote the piece about her great-grandparents’ journey to Canada, resulting in both a tale about refugees and a love story. It's about how to love after being broken by the horrors of war. It's about refugees who get out before it's too late, and those who get out after it's too late. 2b theatre company, in co-production with the National Arts Centre, workshopped Old Stock at the Citadel Theatre in November 2016. The show had its local premiere in Halifax at The Waiting Room in May 2017; its national premiere in Ottawa at the Canada Scene Festival, presented at the National Arts Centre, in July 2017; and its international premiere in Edinburgh at Canada Hub @ King’s Hall in Association with Summerhall, Edinburgh Fringe in August 2017. It received the Scotsman Fringe First Award, as well as the Herald Angel Award. Recently, Old Stock had an Off-Broadway run in New York, where the New York Times declared it a critic’s pick.

In 2002, I co-spearheaded Equity in Canadian Theatre: the Women’s Initiative to examine the status of women in Canadian theatre. Over the last ten years Nightwood Theatre has partnered with the Playwrights Guild of Canada and the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres to continue research and advocacy for our country’s female practitioners. One of a number of disconcerting fi ndings, revealed the lack of female Artistic Directors at the country’s larger theatres. Yet another fi nding showed that those women who were Artistic Directors had better track records of hiring female playwrights and directors in their theatres. The solution seemed obvious: promote more women into AD positions across the country. But the monkey wrench, as I saw it, was that unless women had the opportunity to direct on the bigger stages they would never be considered “eligible” when those jobs came up.

    From the Dean and Vice Principal Academic, University of Toronto Mississauga … I am delighted to welcome you to the 18th season of Theatre Erindale, with a focus on the theme of characters “coming of age.” My congratulations to the students, staff and faculty of the UTM-Sheridan Theatre and Drama Studies Program for providing superlative theatrical productions to the Mississauga community. Our program combines professional dramatic training with a broad academic perspective, and attracts extremely talented students across Canada and internationally. As a member of the audience tonight, whether you are a Theatre Erindale Patron or a single ticket purchaser, you are in for a real treat. I know that you’ll find this evening at the theatre, spent with characters coming to new and enriched understandings of life’s possibilities both thought- provoking and enjoyable. – Amy Mullin From the Artistic Director … As we count down to 2011 – the twentieth anniversary of the founding of this program – we have an extra special season planned for you. In response to popular demand, we’ll be creating all new productions of not one but two of our most requested titles from the past. We’ll be mounting not one but two world premières.

From Jane Eyre to Bernice Eisentein to Mary Haines to Leontes and Florizel and Perdita – not to mention Theatre Erindale itself! – every one of our protagonists rises through challenges to reach a point of new maturity.
