DARING DREAMS:

50 Years of Theatre Direct Canada

ABOUT THE PROJECT

For over fifty years, Theatre Direct has been shaped by generations of artists, leaders, and collaborators, many of whom began their careers with the company. Now, Artistic Director Lisa Marie DiLiberto is opening the vault and bringing that rich history into view.

This winter, we’ll be gathering and sharing oral histories, archival gems, and stories from across Theatre Direct’s past, culminating in a storied performance presented in partnership with a treasured national institution.

Stay tuned for an announcement on October 20 when we will reveal our celebration plans for 50 years of Theatre Direct, alongside a commemoration of Theatre Young Audiences in Toronto and across Canada.
