SWEENEY TODD Innovative, intimate and ingenious, this

most talked-about show by Broadway audiences last year. Directed

CHILD Acclaimed actress and teaching-artist Nilaja Sun

KEEP
YOUR PANTHEON An impoverished acting company on the edge of
eviction is offered a lucrative engagement and life is finally
on the upswing. But through a series of riotous mishaps, the
troupe finds its problems have actually multiplied, and that
they are about to learn a new meaning for the term ‘dying on
stage.’ Performing in tandem with KEEP YOUR PANTHEON is Mamet's
early work, DUCK VARIATIONS, a sly meditation on the meaning of
life, where observations about ducks, whether factual or
incorrect, create a beautiful fugue on the human condition.

ORSON’S SHADOW Legendary critic Kenneth
Tynan has made a startling proposal: Orson Welles (McGill)
should direct Laurence Olivier (Shaughnessy) and the young Joan
Plowright (West) in Rhinoceros, Ionesco’s absurdist masterpiece.
But it is the rehearsal process that brims with absurdity as
titanic personalities, including Vivien Leigh (Lawrence),
wrestle the muse. Based on an actual event, ORSON’S SHADOW is a
witty and incisive depiction of the drama of theatre.
