ADDITIONAL INFO
All talks take place from 10:30am-12:00 noon in advance of the afternoon play performances. All events take place at Streetcar Crowsnest (345 Carlaw Avenue, Toronto) and are free to attend.
The free ticket is for the talk series only and is available to anyone who wishes to participate. A separate ticket must be purchased for each play performance in order to attend the show as well. (You can always try your luck at the our box office after the event for pay-what-you-can tickets.)
CBC IDEAS Host Nahlah Ayed:
“At a time of polarization and division, we are proud to be part of an effort aimed at bringing meaningful conversations to audiences old and new. Theatre has long been one of the best venues for fostering debate and discussion, where plays tell stories that resonate deeply with our lives.
“These five thinkers will bring deep knowledge and wide curiosity to our collective stage, bringing fresh perspectives to some of the most urgent problems of our time.”
Crow’s Theatre Associate Artistic Director Paolo Santalucia:
“This partnership captures the importance theatre holds in modern culture. It serves as a powerful platform through which the questions shaping our time find meaningful discourse, hopefully fostering a deeper understanding of each other and the world around us.”
* IDEAS streams free anytime on CBC Listen, and can be heard weekdays at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio. IDEAS AT CROW’S THEATRE will broadcast on CBC’s IDEAS at a later date. For more information visit www.cbc.ca/ideas and subscribe to the weekly IDEAS newsletter.
