Hart House Theatre Presents RICHARD III, EQUUS & More In 2010/11 Season

Hart House Theatre, the University of Toronto's Performing Arts Leader Since 1919, is proud to announce its 2010/2011 Season. This Season's line-up is a diverse mix of classical and contemporary work as Hart House Theatre presents two Toronto Premieres, revisits a modern classic and continues the tradition of producing affordable, accessible, high quality Shakespeare in Downtown Toronto.

Richard III
By William Shakespeare
Sept 15 - Oct 2, 2010

Some people will do anything to get to the top...Shakespeare's delightfully bloody and brutal history of Richard III follows the corrupt path of a twisted man with equally twisted ambitions. Richard manipulates, marries and murders his way to the top with unmatched charm and zeal.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students and seniors. $10 Student Tickets are available every Wednesday Night!

Equus

By Peter Shaffer
Nov 12 - 27, 2010

Equus, written by the Tony Award winning playwright Peter Shaffer, is the powerful, provocative and utterly jarring story of a psychiatrist who seeks to understand the sexual and religious mystery which leads a boy to blind six horses. This modern masterpiece is an equally disturbing and inspiring examination of personal values and morality in the face of commonly accepted social prejudices.

Recently re-popularized in London's West End and on Broadway, in a production starring Daniel Radcliff, Equus finally receives a long-awaited revival in Toronto.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students and seniors. $10 Student Tickets are available every Wednesday Night!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - The Musical

Toronto Premiere
Book by Jeffrey Lane
Music and lyrics by David Yazbek
Based on the film "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"
Written by Dale Launer, Stanley Shapiro & Paul Henning
Jan 14 - 29, 2011

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a hilarious musical romp based on the hit film starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin. On the French Riviera, two charming and unscrupulous con-artists are pitted against each other in this smart, sexy and side-splitting comedy.

Filled with delightful scams, ridiculous plot-twists and plenty of back-stabbing fun, this Tony-Award winning musical will seduce you with an uncompromising wit, an unforgettable score and a smorgasbord of devilishly charming and corrupt characters.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students and seniors. $10 Student Tickets are available every Wednesday Night!

Yellow Face
A white actor wearing a yellow face...

By David Henry Hwang
Mar 4 - 12, 2011

Yellow Face is a comic, head-spinning backstage comedy from the Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang in which mistaken racial identities collide with family, media and politics. This ferociously funny, utterly unreliable memoir chronicles David Henry Hwang's struggle to define racial identity in the mixed-up melting pot of contemporary America.

Part fact, part fiction - provocative yet full of heart; Yellow Face is a tale of cultural politics, family fortunes, and artistic integrity; an insightful look at the pitfalls and promise of our "P.C." world.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students and seniors. $10 Student Tickets are available every Wednesday Night!
