Wanting to provide audiences with exciting, relatable and thought-provoking experiences, they focused on producing Canadian premieres of deeply human international stories.
Today, TCT works with a mix of established and emerging actors from across the country, inspiring them to embrace their instincts in each performance to create radically live theatre.
The production was directed by TCT ensemble member Jonathan Goad in his directorial debut, and starred Nancy Beatty, Nora McLellan, Philip Riccio, and Loretta Yu.
The Canadian premiere of the play starred Kim Coates ("Sons of Anarchy" and "Bad Blood") in his epic return to the stage after 27 years of working exclusively in film and television.

Having noticed the rapid decline of theatre coverage in Toronto and across Canada, the company came up with an online publication meant to empower and showcase artists across the country.
In March 2016, TCT officially launched Intermission Magazine — an online platform for Canadian theatre artists and arts journalists to share their voices and help develop audience engagement.
