Here at CityEvents, we love to get our fix of theatre in Toronto. Coming up this week is a true gem of Canadian culture that attracts some of the brightest talent from all over.
The SummerWorks Performance Festival opens this Thursday, August 7 and runs until Sunday, August 17. The entire festival takes places all over the city of Toronto, in many of your favourite venues including the Lower Ossington Theatre, the Theatre Centre and the Gladstone hotel.
Founded in 1991, SummerWorks is Canada’s largest juried festival featuring an array of performance art including theatre, dance and music. With a focus on promoting new Canadian work, the SummerWorks Performance Festival acts as a hub for creation, bringing together some of Canada’s emerging directors, actors, designers, arts administrators and technicians.
One show we’re excited to see is a new Canadian musical entitled “And Now, The End” playing at the Theatre Passe Muraille Mainspace. Earlier in the year, we got a chance to catch their workshop production at the Ryerson Theatre School’s New Voices Festival, and we can’t wait to see it again.
