Media Package ITW.Indd FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA RELEASE #078 JULY 14, 2016 Media Contact: Emily McMahon 613-382-7086 ext 23 FAIRYTALES COME TO LIFE IN PLAYHOUSE’S BIGGEST MUSICAL YET INTO THE WOODS, JULY 22 – AUGUST 23, SPRINGER THEATRE GANANOQUE, ON – Not every story at Thousand Islands Playhouse can end “happily ever after”. Opening on July 22, INTO THE WOODS is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairytales. It intertwines the plots of a few choice stories to explore the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. The humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel. The tale is all tied together by an original story about a baker and his wife who go on a journey to reverse a curse, put on them by the witch next door. The show was nominated for ten Tony Awards when it opened on Broadway in 1987, winning Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical. The Hollywood film released in 2014 also received three Academy Award nominations. “INTO THE WOODS is Stephen Sondheim’s most popular work, and it happens to be one of my favourite musicals,” says Playhouse Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran, who is directing the show. “What is so great about this piece in particular, is that it is full of familiar stories and unfamiliar surprises; it is a celebration of family, of purpose, and of overcoming obstacles in a community. Beautiful and thoughtful, I know this piece will enchant and delight our audiences.” The formidable cast and creative team will bring the storybook tales to life through incredible music, costumes, choreography, and design (full list attached). Show Times: Tuesdays at 7:30 pm, Wednesday to Saturday at 8:00 pm. Matinees Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2:30 pm (starting the Sunday after opening) Running Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes Pricing: Regular Ticket - $32, 65 Plus - $30, Under 30 - $20 How to Buy: Book online at http://www.1000islandsplayhouse.com or call the Box Office at 613-382-7020 Since 1982, the Thousand Islands Playhouse has been producing live, professional theatre with talent drawn from across Canada.

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.

  • Off-Broadway Hit, Old Stock, Closes out This Season's

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.
