Season
“Season #46 at Studio 58 will feature time-honored classics like Arthur Miller's THE CRUCIBLE and JULIUS CAESAR, alongside the latest in Canadian plays with the return of FOURPLAY, new works by recent Studio 58 students and graduates. In between, audiences will have the rare opportunity to see a vintage murder mystery à la Agatha Christie with our Christmas presentation of THE 13th CHAIR. The Risky Nights series will feature two original creations developed by our fourth term students under the guidance of Studio graduates. Join us for another exciting season."
