THEATREWORKS Productions
Theatreworks Productions is proud to introduce the Stone Circle Project as our regular summer theatre activity.
Created out of a need for more accessible public theatre and in an effort to connect with our communities, the idea for this division of the company is to produce outdoor PWYC theatre with a mandate focusing on ancient texts.
Our venue is a landscaped area consisting of a circle of giant stones surrounded by lush trees and a hilly terrain making it a natural theatre reminiscent of the Greek amphitheatres of ancient times. Located on Jackman Ave. just north of the Danforth it is the perfect place for people of all ages to pull up a chair or blanket and take in the stories that were the beginnings of theatre as we know it today.
The Stone Circle Project had its inaugural season opening in the summer of 2007 with a production of Ned Dicken's Creon, one of seven plays in his City of Wine cycle. This first production played to enthusiastic crowds and in a review afterward Jon Kaplan wrote
"More next year from this company, please -- and a longer run."
Over the next five years we will introduce youth programming which will utilize the outdoor space we perform in, endeavour to grow our summer season by extending the performance period building to a repertory season of two shows.
We look forward to bringing theatre back to its roots, performing in an outdoor environment and welcome you to come out and join the experience.
