See the work of our friends showcased at Alumnae Theatre's annual festival of new works
|
The New Ideas Festival is an annual, three-week, juried festival of new writing, works-in-progress and experimental theatre, with a different program of plays each week and staged readings on Saturdays at noon. The 2017 festival takes place in the Studio at Alumnae Theatre and runs from March 8-26, 2017. Quite a few of the artists that have participated in our recent seasons are involved in productions throughout the festival. Here are just a few:
Our Interim Education and Production Coordinator, Rebecca Ostroff is making her directorial debut in the first week of the festival with a play by Rosemary Doyle named Call. As an assistant director, Rebecca has worked on Hart House Theatre's productions of Jesus Christ Superstar and Boeing Boeing, as well directing a staged reading of a play she wrote, Shaken Ground, at the University of Toronto. The cast of Call also features the talents of Hart House Theatre alumna, Shalyn McFaul. More about the show here >>
Also included in the schedule of the first week of the festival is Teach Her My Name by Michael Kras directed by Paige Foskett. Our audiences will recognise Paige from her stand-out performance as Norma in Carrie:the musical. More about the show here >>
Taking the stage in the third week of the festival is The Ballad of Sadie Wong by Andrew Lee, directed by U of T student Cassidy Sadler. Cassidy last appeared on our stage in this season's opener, Tideline, and has been involved in several campus theatre events as an actor and director. This show also features the talents of Remi Long, a recipient of the Donald Sutherland Award for Best Performance at the U of T Drama Festival in 2015.
