Toronto: All five episodes of “You Can’t Get There From Here” are now available until September 25

Tuesday, June 1, 2021

All 5 episodes in our You Can’t Get There From Here audio series are available to listen to wherever you get your podcasts until September! 

You Can’t Get There From Here is a brand new collection of audio dramas from Toronto’s Factory Theatre. A limited series featuring five commissioned audio theatrical works from some of our country’s most creative minds (Playwrights Anusree Roy, Matthew MacKenzie, Yvette Nolan, Keith Barker, and Luke Reece), You Can’t Get There From Here offers listeners fresh perspectives on familiar Toronto landmarks and neighbourhoods and glimpses into the micro-dramas occurring each day around us, hidden in plain sight. 

Each episode offers a new, self-contained story and a vivid audio experience from each of our five playwrights and features the work of over 20 artists and arts workers. Audiences can choose to listen from the comforts of their own homes, or if you're a Toronto local, you can take a journey across the city – either way, you're sure to see the land on which we live and work anew.
