By: A.A. Cristi Feb. 10, 2017
Following a two-year hiatus, Angelwalk Theatre is pleased to announce that it is re-launching in 2017, with a mandate to continue producing musical theatre. The company will once again be in residence at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, its home since inception in 2009.
Since Angelwalk Theatre's last production in 2014 at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, the building has undergone significant changes, most notably the renovation of the old mainspace theatre (home ofJersey Boys, Ragtime, Show Boat, etc.) into two beautiful new theatres - the 296-seat Greenwin Theatre and the 574-seat Lyric Theatre.
Angelwalk Theatre plans to spread its programming throughout the four performance spaces that the Toronto Centre for the Arts offers (Studio Theatre, Greenwin Theatre, Lyric Theatre, George Weston Recital Hall) and provide a home for musical theatre audiences in the heart of the community of North York.
Angelwalk Theatre is pleased to announce that its 2017 spring subscription season will feature two musical concerts - Any Dream Will Do: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber (March 30 - April 1, 2017) and Everybody's Got A Story: A Celebration of Canadian Women in Music (June 15-17, 2017) - in the brand-new Lyric Theatre.
