Over the past 10 years Peace Theatre has provided arts-based, peace-building programming to 10,000 at-risk children and youth in Toronto  but on the eve of what should be a celebration of our accomplishments, the organization is in danger of closing its doors.

Don't let Peace Theatre fall down the rabbit hole. Come and experience the imaginative universe that Peace Theatre creates for Toronto's young people on a daily basis.  Enjoy the musical stylings of the Joe Sealy and Paul Novotny duo. Sip on a signature cocktail (Mad Hatter Spiked Iced Tea anyone?) and munch on some mini culinary delights.

Join us as we paint the roses red!

David Mirvish presents

CLOUD 9 - a comedy of multiple organisms

By Caryl Churchill Directed by Alisa Palmer

Starring Evan Buliung, Ben Carlson, Megan Follows, David Jansen, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Yanna McIntosh and Blair Williams

CLOUD 9 by Caryl Churchill (Top Girls) is an audacious, award-winning play that wraps gender-bending characters and outrageous portrayals of sexuality in thought-provoking satire. Political and sexual oppression are explored in a time-twisted structure: 100 years pass between acts set in British colonial Africa and modern-day London, with recurring characters aging a mere 25 years. Come experience the exhilarating world of CLOUD 9, where age, gender, race and sexuality are defined and re-defined.

 

Stuff Happens brings George Bush back

When David Hare's searing docu-drama, Stuff Happens, premiered at the National Theatre in London in 2004 it was quickly hailed for its depth and insight into what was then the still unfolding saga of deception and military adventurism that resulted in the failed Bush policy in Iraq. Like many of Hare's plays (Plenty, A Map of the World, Pravda) it soon entered the international repertoire. When Studio 180 mounted the show in March of 2008 at the 284 seat Berkeley Theatre in Toronto, it quickly became the hit of the season with sold out performances for the length of the run. It was subsequently mounted in Vancouver in the fall of that same year by the Firehall Arts Centre in a production directed by Donna Spencer.
