    1 A Message from the Artistic and Executive Directors We are so pleased you chose to join us at YPT for The Mush Hole. Through plays like Hana’s Suitcase, YPT committed to sharing the truth about the Holocaust in ways appropriate for young hearts and minds. And now, it has become all too clear that, in Canada, adults and children must also face the truth about Canada’s Residential Schools… and the impact on countless Indigenous people. We know that The Mush Hole reflects on difficult things to see and hear. But facing truth really does set us free – to heal and to be and do better. The theme that inspires the 2019.20 season at YPT is the Seven Ancestral Teachings of the Anishinaabe. The Mush Hole offers a powerful example of Truth. Find out more about YPT’s connection to Indigeneity and the Seven Ancestral teachings at youngpeoplestheatre.org/about-ypt/ indigenizeus.

  • Program for Their Dramatic Achievements
    From the Dean and Vice Principal Academic, University of Toronto Mississauga … Me and my wife got married Me and my wife settled down Me and my wife were parted I think I'll take a walk around town – From "Irene Goodnight" by Huddie Ledbetter (“Lead-belly”) It is not accidental that the start of almost any theatrical production involves the dimming of the house lights and the plunge of the audience into near-darkness. As the lights rise on the stage, it is the rest of the world that is shut out by darkness. This technique allows us to focus our attention and our empathetic capacity towards the characters and situations that arise from the imagination of the playwright. But drama is most effective when it reflects back to audience members the issues, concerns, and events that are closest to them, that speak to their most profound experiences. Theatre Erindale's 2008-09 season goes straight to the heart of that most personal of entanglements: the committed partnership. Zoologists know that it is only the rare species that partners for life, and even among those that do, genetic evidence is revealing that there is more intrigue and more deception than meets the eye. And with divorce rates in North America nearing 50%, we humans would seem to be having a difficult time of it as well. So I invite you to join me in attending Theatre Erindale throughout the entire season as we attempt to shed light on the human capacity for partnering and on the quest for a bond that is eternal and unbreakable.

    Models of Professionalism: Post-WWI Strategies and Ideologies Towards a Canadian Professional Theatre by Grace Smith A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies University of Toronto © Copyright Grace Smith 2018 ii Models of Professionalism: Post-WWI Strategies and Ideologies Towards a Canadian Professional Theatre Grace Smith Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The prevailing historical narratives of twentieth-century Canadian theatre have generally pinpointed a few particular post-WWII theatre companies in Ontario as the first professional companies in the province, if not in the whole country. These narratives apply the label of professional as though its definition and implications were self-evident and not historically- contingent. This study unpacks the professional status of Ontario’s first post-WWII professional theatre companies by first examining the interwar theatre community, models, and discourse which preceded the post-war companies. Using Bourdieu’s field theory and studies of professions/professionalism, this study argues that a collection of professional signifiers best serves an analysis of these post-WWII Ontario companies and the source of their professional status. Through this foundational framework this study illuminates professionalization as a purposeful process that is not always beneficial and for which exclusion is necessary; the interwar
