Winter Play Project provides play development for two emerging playwrights. After being selected from over twenty submissions, the plays receive three table-reads and feedback sessions with the company throughout the winter before the final drafts go into rehearsal for their productions in April.
THE PLAYS:
‘Family Debts’ by Kelly Anderson, directed by Brian Postalian
Ed and his sister Cara are sent to live on their aunt Lillian’s farm after the collapse of their parents’ marriage. Years later, Ed struggles to reconnect with Lillian, all the while attempting to come to terms with the time they spent together, and the place Lillian took in his life.
‘Comme Ci, Comme Ca’ by Christian Tribuzio, directed by Cory Doran
An ordinary dinner party becomes anything but when the hosts and their guests lose track of who is who. Simon and Hilary appear to be the hosts. Then there's Don, their guest, and finally Phoebe, (better known as Perry) the final guest who bares a rather large secret.
THE COMPANY:
Theatre By Committee is a seven member theatre collective of Toronto-based artists. The company produced “Lion in the Streets” by Judith Thompson (2015), a sold-out run of Evan Wade Brown's "A Tournament of Lies" for the Toronto Fringe (2015), and Christopher Durang's "'Dentity Crisis" for the Atlantic Fringe (2014).
Theatre By Committee is dedicated to creating an open theatrical laboratory for emerging artists. Our process encourages polyvocality and non-traditional approaches to storytelling by celebrating the unexpected surprises that come from risk and collaboration. Of great importance is providing opportunity for continued learning with emerging theatre artists. We make theatre that is thought- provoking, relevant, and forward-thinking.
