Toronto, ON – Canadian Stage today announced additional details about the 2013.2014 theatre season, including casting for London Road, the musical documentary directed by Jackie Maxwell with musical direction by Reza Jacobs, on stage at the Bluma Appel Theatre from January 19 to February 9, 2014. The 5-star hit from London, England will have its Canadian premiere with an all-star cast of some of the country’s most talented performers: Sean Arbuckle, Damien Atkins, Ben Carlson, Michelle Fisk, Deborah Hay, George Masswohl, Julain Molnar, Glynnis Ranney, Fiona Reid and Shawn Wright.
The previously announced Helen Lawrence, a new work being created by resident artist Kim Collier, visual artist Stan Douglas and screen writer Chris Haddock, scheduled to be on stage at the Bluma Appel Theatre from March 9 to 30, 2014, will not be presented as part of Canadian Stage’s 2013.2014 season. Working with various international partners, Canadian Stage plans to include the production in a future season, but at this time will delay presentation to accommodate a longer period of artistic development and to confirm various international tour dates. Future presentation dates will be announced as they are confirmed.
The Company Theatre, entering their third year in partnership with Canadian Stage, will present Belleville, a critically-acclaimed new play by Amy Herzog, starring Dora Award-winning actress Christine Horne and directed by Jason Byrne, at the Berkeley Street Theatre from April 6 to May 4, 2014.
