WORLD CURIOUS
In the choices we have made, in the connections we have formed, in the stories we are telling – we are already showing what it means to be World Curious and the global theatre community is taking notice.
Consider these milestones:
• A Thousand Splendid Suns and our partnership with the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco
• Barber Shop Chronicles – the only Canadian stop on the North American Tour for this worldwide acclaimed production from the National Theatre in London
• The global attention received from the decision to program Prom Queen: The Musical as the High School Project
• A World Premiere of Silence: Mabel and Alexander Graham Bell that went on to open the 50th Anniversary Season of the National Arts Centre in Canada’s capital
• A North American Premiere of Chariots of Fire
All of this – in just the past two seasons. With more to come in 2019-20 and beyond
LONDON PROUDThe Grand’s commitment to developing, premiering and showcasing new work for London Ontario audiences has been on an upward trajectory since the COMPASS program was announced just two short years ago. Since that time, the Grand has:
Commissioned 5 new works, and staged The World Premiere of Silence: Mabel & Alexander Graham Bell that went on to open the 50th season of the NAC in Ottawa
