ALUMNAE THEATRE COMPANY

Toronto, Ontario, M5A 2W6 Canada

Mission Statement

The Alumnae Theatre Company is dedicated to the production of adventurous, high-quality theatre not readily seen elsewhere, and to the promotion and skill development of women in theatre.

About This Cause

The Alumnae produces a full season each year, consisting of three productions on the Main Stage, one play series in the Studio space (Fireworks), and one festival of new works also in the Studio (New Ideas Festival). The company originated in 1918 when a group of enterprising women graduates from the University of Toronto banded together to form one of the city’s first theatre companies. Its first offering was Molière’s satirical comedy Les Femmes Savantes (performed in English). The group also staged the premieres of such works as Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, Ionesco’s The Lesson, and Pinter’s The Caretaker. We are a club that consists of a membership of women volunteers who participate in all elements of the running of the theatre from acting, directing, and writing to administration, artistic programming, and management. Membership is open to all women.
