Toronto's Theatre 20 to Present COMPANY and BLOODLESS in Inaugural Season

Theatre 20, which debuted last year in Toronto, is the first group of its kind dedicated exclusively to the production of musicals. The company's first full season of shows will include BLOODLESS: THE TRIAL OF BURKE AND HARE and COMPANY, reports The Globe and Mail. 

BLOODLESS: THE TRIAL OF BURKE AND HARE will be workshopped this spring ahead of its fall debut. It will play the Panasonic Theatre from October 16 to November 11, 2012. BLOODLESS follows two men who, at the turn of the 19th century, begin murdering potential hospital specimens outright instead of waiting for them to die and will mark Colm Wilkinson's directoral debut. 

In 2013, COMPANY will take the stage. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth, Company follows five couples and their bachelor friend, Robert, exploring the true meaning of being in a relationship through a series of vignettes.

Theatre 20's founding artists consist of (in alphabetical order): Tamara Bernier Evans, Adam Brazier (Artistic Director), Evan Buliung, Brent Carver, Dan Chameroy, Juan Chioran, Ma Anne Dionisio, Susan Gilmour, David Keeley, Rosie Shaw (General Manager), Trish Lindstrom, Nora McLellan, Steven Sutcliffe, Louise Pitre, Colm Wilkinson, Eliza Jane Scott and Carly Street.
