Every season, TOE hosts a series of curated events where established and emerging writers, actors, and musicians perform a piece of their choice in front of an audience. Vulnerability is a source of inspirational theatre, and at TOE we encourage everyone to share new work and take a risk with the support of their collaborators and their community. TOE believes in equitable access to the arts, so we have installed a "Pay What You Want"system for attending the shows.
During the pandemic, TOE has remained resilient with the continued support of our members. We offered our events online, mainly through Facebook Live.

Past TOE Productions, Events, and Collaborations

The launch of Still Got Something to Say: 6 Plays on Age was a tremendous success! With support from the Digital Now! grant given by the Canada Council for the arts, TOE commissioned 6 highly esteemed and seasoned Canadian playwrights to write a short play exploring the theme of age and ageing. We began this process asking: What does “old” mean? How does growing older often mean becoming the “other”? How then does ageism intersect with racialization, genderism, ableism, and social and economic marginalization?
We didn’t know the answers to all these questions, but we wanted to create an opportunity for our playwrights to explore the challenges of navigating an ageist world. These amazing playwrights are: Jane Gilchrist, Debra Kirshenbaum, Ann Lambert, Kent Stetson, Judith Thompson, and Rahul Varma. They were joined by a team of wonderful theatre artists. Theatre Ouest End is also delighted to announce that we will continue our collaboration with Djanet Sears in a workshop of her play, Thomasina, Angel and Me that was commissioned for this Digital Now Project. Please see our website for the text of the play and much more information! |
