The Storefront Theatre's inaugural season concludes with Special Constables, running Dec 5th - 21st, 2013 at 955 Bloor St W.
Special Constables is an action-filled comedy that chronicles the return of Toronto's most elite police force: the TTC Transit Police. Jameson, a former constable, is responsible for the disbanding of the Special Constables, but
when a Metropass counterfeiting ring threatens to take over the TTC, Jameson has one shot to redeem both his former unit and himself.
Special Constables brings together an award winning cast and crew, directed by Circlesnake's Alec Toller. Toller directed Angel City for the 2013 Playwright Project and the feature film Play which played in New York, London, and Los Angeles, and is the winner of three Best Screenplay awards. The script is being created through improv to create an electric, highly physical piece based specifically on the actors involved.
