But most of all, it got people talking, which was one of our main reasons for bringing it to the stage. We were overwhelmed by the responses and feedback from critics and audience members alike, and we cannot...

Come join the Pi Congregation!

Pi Theatre has had an incredible year! We celebrated our 30th anniversary with multiple events, including a sold out Sunday Soul Brunch. We took Between the Sheets on tour to Victoria (only the second tour in Pi history). Our playwright-in-residence, Jordan Hall, had her play How to Survive an Apocalypse chosen as the 2016 Firehall Arts Centre, Touchstone Theatre and PTC's Flying Start project, and we blew up the stage in Blasted, which garnered 8 Jessie Richardson Award nominations. *fingers crossed for some wins*

Our 2015/16 season will be just as big, including two works in development, a...

Pi is heading off to PACT!

In just a few days, both Richard and I will be heading to Toronto to take part in the Professional Association of Canadian Theatre's annual conference. Pi has been a member of PACT since 1991, and although Richard has attended a number of times, this will be my first conference.

I'm very excited to meet other theatre professionals from across the country, talk to them and learn about what they are doing. It's going to be a busy four days, but I can't wait!

Throwback Thursday #4

In the 1990/1991 season, Pink Ink used a quote to promote what it was that the company did: “If art does not outrage, does not provoke, then it is of no value.” - Pier Paulo Pasolini Also in 1990, Cindy Block wrote an article about Pink Ink in the Playboard, saying that: “This is what Pink Ink is all about. Since its genesis in 1985, this unique theatre company, under the direction of Sandhano Schultze, has been committed to providing audiences with an intellectual challenge that refreshingly moves beyond mainstream theatre. This commitment to provocative, timulating theatre along with a...
