Every Season, TOE hosts a, minimally curated, open mike event where established and emerging writers, actors, and musicians alike
perform a piece(s) of their choice in front of an audience at the Ouest End Church. More interested in watching? The Théâtre Ouest End believes in equitable access to the arts, so we have installed a "Pay what you want" system for attending the show.
In the next coming months, we also wish to start holding cold reading events, where actors will perform a cold read from new and emerging play in front of a live audience.
During the pandemic, TOE has remained resilient with the continued support of our members. We now offer our events online, mainly through Facebook Live.

Upcoming Events
Join us on September 13th at 7:30pm for Hidden Twins: A New Play Reading, inspired by the true story of Vera and Nadia Debnar, and the final instalment of our 2021 Independent Microgrants for Creative and Cultural Exploration.
Identical twins, Vera and Nadia's love of play-acting helped to save their lives when they were forced to masquerade as Protestants to avoid detection by the Nazis. As the war ends, the sisters must negotiate the identities they performed to seek asylum, with whom they really are in relation to their culture, country, and each other.
Written by Alice Abracen and directed by Ellen David, featuring a stunning cast of talent, Hidden Twins will be read live at the Segal Centre. Admission is free but limited; click here to reserve tickets through the Segal Centre and learn more about their health and safety protocols.
