Company 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES Founded in 1979, our much-heralded musical theatre company makes its home at the Fairview Library Theatre in Toronto, offering unique, professional entertainment at affordable prices. Each season we offer four productions. Our 100+ shows range from the well-loved Broadway classics to revues and concert stagings to more obscure shows also deserving of attention, recent examples being the February 2006 Canadian premiere of Titanic: The Musical and 2004’s first-ever Canadian production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s lost masterpiece, Allegro, both of which played to sold-out houses and phenomenal reviews. A world-premiere original musical adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz—score by James P. Doyle, book by Joe Cascone—was staged in 2000 and 2002, to comprehensive acclaim. This season, we offer Irving Berlin’s As Thousands Cheer from Sep 5 to 22, Meredith Willson’s – Here’s Love - The Miracle on 34 Street Musical from Dec 5 to 23, Kander & Ebb’s The Rink from Feb 13 to Mar 1, and the Broadway classic Kismet from May 22 to June 8. Join us as our theatrical journey continues! Joe Cascone, artistic director Subscription information/box office: 416-755-1717 www.civiclightoperacompany.com |
