Our creative journey
together continues with
Pride Season 17.
It is essential that we tell stories from many different vantage points in order to push boundaries, challenge the status quo, arouse change, celebrate diversity, and to learn more about each other. Doing so reveals the forces of humanity that we all share.
The characters who will populate our productions in the 2011/12 season represent a broad cross-section culturally, politically, lyrically, poetically and historically.
We can all look forward to another season of live theatre that promises variety in both style and content. Entertainment that is fun, informative, stimulating and welcoming.
