Soulpepper Extends JITTERS Through 7/31

Albert Schultz, Founding Artistic Director of Soulpepper Theatre Company, today announced that due to overwhelming demand, the company's production of David French's Jitters will be held over until July 31, 2010 at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts. Jitters will be extended for six shows, July 26 - July 31, 2010 at 7:30pm.

Hailed as David French's love letter to Canadian Theatre, Jitters is about the mishaps and antics that go on behind the scenes in a struggling Canadian Theatre company. Soulpepper's production of Jitters received great reviews and is playing to standing ovations and sold-out houses.
