Blood Relations
by Sharon Pollock


January 23-February 7, 2015
In this Governor General’s Award–winning play, Sharon Pollock’s ORIGINAL perspective takes us on a psychological journey, bringing the past to life in a search for a possible answer, a motive.

New Ideas Festival 2015

​March 11-29, 2015
​
Alumnae Theatre’s New Ideas Festival is a three-week, juried celebration of new writing, works-in- progress and experimental theatre, with a different program of plays each week and staged readings on Saturdays at noon. New Ideas is a crucible for ORIGINAL plays, some of which have gone on to full productions elsewhere. As such, they are must-sees for avant-garde Toronto theatre-goers.
