2023 marked 50 years since PTC became an incorporated company.
PTC has been on a constant path of evolution in its 50 years of first drafts. From indie producer in the 70s when Canadian work was a rarity, to festival producer showcasing work in the 80s-00s, to creative collaborator on short- and long-term artist residencies in the 10-20’s, the company has looked to what artists need, not only responding with, but leading new approaches.
As we look forward through 2024, our Anniversary Fund will help our artists fulfil their visions. Engkanto (Kamila Sediego), It Lives in My Bedroom (Mily Mumford), Binary Star (José Teodoro), God’s A Drag (Jessica Lemes da Silva), Postcards to my Younger Transsexual Self (Christina Cook), Before They Cut Down Our Tree (Karter Masuhara), Some Must Watch While Some Must Sleep (Tanya Marquardt), Deep Fried: A Pinoy Musical (Davey Calderon), Peace Country (Pedro Chamale)
These are plays and playwrights that deserve to be seen. We are committed to making that happen. PTC is there with playwrights, finding the unique path that will help them reach the stage.
We’re grateful to the community of playwrights, local and national, who make up PTC. From first timers in Block A to our Associates who are with us for 3 years, we value the new ideas and new forms they are experimenting with, and the conversations they spark with each other.
There are so many people who contribute to PTC’s world. Playwrights, staff, emerging artists, actors, board members, production teams, audience members, community partners and funders – there are hundreds of makers and thousands of audiences connected each year by the new work blooming at PTC. Thank you to our 50th Anniversary Matching Campaign donors – with their help, and the support of the Pyatt Foundation, we were able to raise over $16,000!
