Among the many highlights of the 2013 season To which we respond - just wait! were the ground-breaking marathon productions, Angels in America, and The Norman Conquests. Undertaking these massive projects is something Soulpepper couldn’t have done three years ago, and demonstrated a new level of artistic and organ­- izational maturity. The result was critical, artistic, and financial success, and both productions returned as part of our 2014 season. Kim’s Convenience, by Soulpepper Academy graduate Ins Choi, began its national tour, and became the most widely seen new Canadian play of the year.

“For me, 2013 was all about gratitude. Gratitude that after 71 years there is a theatre company still asking me to “bare-all” on stage (perhaps too much so in Farther West). Gratitude for the opportunity to share the Soulpepper stages with new friends and old friends from seasons past. Gratitude that winning my first Dora Award was for Best Ensemble, which sums up what this company is all about. Gratitude for the many friends on stage, backstage, in the offices, in workshops, in our outreach programs, on our Board and in our audiences, who continue to feel like a family. Gratitude.” –william WEBSTER, Founding Member & resident artist

Soulpepper continues to experience high demand for our youth outreach initiatives, including our newly established Ada Slaight Youth Link Pro- gram, which teams a group of our youth alumni with Soulpepper Resident Artists and a community organization. Together they lead a series of workshops for the youth at these organizations. While being mentored by Resident Artists, these young people (Youth Link Artists) serve as young facilitators and inspire other youth in the city to be passionate advocates for the arts.
