Playwrights & Creators
Our commitment to play development began in the 70s when Toronto Free Theatre was developing and producing explosive new work, and we continue to commission and develop theatre with the intent to produce new Canadian productions on our stages.
Throughout our history we have produced many new plays which have gone on to receive national and international productions and awards. In recent years, we have produced many world premieres including Judith Thompson's Palace of the End and Habitat, Damien Atkins' Lucy, Ronnie Burkett's 10 Days on Earth, Provenance and Happy, Neil Bartram and Brian Hill's The Story of My Life, Richard Greenblatt's Letters from Lehrer¸ Gina Wilkinson's My Mothers Feet, Joan MacLeod's Homechild, Allen Cole and Vincent de Tourdonnet's Pélagie, Michael Marc Bouchard's Written on Water, Ronnie Burkett's, Carol Shields and Sara Cassidy's Unless, Adam Pettle's Sunday Father, Sunil Kuruvilla's Rice Boy.
