Director: Graham Abbey
 
Founded in 2011 by acclaimed stage, TV and film actor Graham Abbey,
Groundling Theatre Co. is a new Toronto based theatre company committed
to producing imaginative, original and accessible productions of
Shakespeare's plays as well as works inspired by Shakespeare, in an
effort to educate and inspire a new generation of audiences and artists.
By taking Shakespeare out of its traditional context Groundling Theatre
hopes to re-examine and re-interpret the canon, allowing audiences old
and new alike to relate the timeless themes contained in Shakespeare's
plays to their own world and the issues relevant to a contemporary
Canadian context.

Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls. Equity
members cast in this production will be engaged under an Equity form of
contract. CAEA members: please bring your membership card to the
audition.
