Some Toronto, Canadian and World Premieres in Soulpepper’s 2022 opening. Have a look:

The Coal Mine was modeled after the Off-Off Broadway New York theatres and branded as Toronto’s Off-Off Broadview Theatre. In its intimate space at 1454 Danforth Avenue, The Coal Mine has for six season presented some of the most challenging, stimulating and award-winning scripts from Canada and around the world.

As a University of Western Ontario/King’s College alumni, The Grand has always remained a strong fixture in my mind. There was something about attending productions there during my undergrad years that was a magical place to watch and to see others at wondrous play. And now returning all these years later to see new talent and to experience new works from another perspective is all the reason more to get to see what’s happening

Four Studio 180 IN DEVELOPMENT presentations of works-in-progress from early to later stages of development, all reflecting themes of memory, generational divides and how we see ourselves, our identities and our history will increase audience awareness and invite us to consider some next steps.

‘Come from Away’ tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. On September 11, 2001 the world stopped. On September 12, their stories moved us all.

On account of the ongoing public health concerns and in a bid to remain nimble, b current has decided to announce one or two projects at a time this year.

Incoming Artistic Director Herbie Barnes recently stated: “To become AD in this time – not only as we move through the pandemic, but also through a time of great evolution with BIPOC, #MeToo and other powerful societal change – is extremely exciting. We are finally hearing voices from communities who have been silenced. As Artistic Director, I cannot sit back in a ‘business as usual’ position or relax with the notion that ‘this is how it’s always been done’.

As a result of the pandemic, Artistic Director Joel Greenberg stated how fitting it is to turn the theatre into a refuge, a balm, and a resting place with stories this Fall of 2021 that “challenge our assumptions, as the plays' characters are themselves challenged to understand themselves and their values in a world that refuses to stand still.”

Artistic Director of Crow’s Theatre, Chris Abraham adds, “We have a season that celebrates extraordinary artists who are facing the world head-on and looking for new ways for us to move forward together. In landscapes that are both real and imagined, of the moment and historical, our 2021.22 season is unabashedly urgent, contemporary, and immediate theatre.”
