Albert Schultz, Founding Artistic Director of Soulpepper Theatre Company, today announced that the company's production of Sharon Pollock's Doc will run August 19 - September 18, 2010, at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts.

Winner of both the Chalmers Canadian Play Award and the Governor General's Award for drama, Doc is a powerful and very personal play by one Canada's most celebrated playwrights, Sharon Pollock. With generosity and forgiveness, Pollock examines the scars and redemption of a daughter's relationship with her parents and her younger self. Doc premiered in 1984 at Theatre Calgary to critical acclaim.

Diana Leblanc directs Derek Boyes, Carmen Grant, Jane Spidell and RH Thomson as well as Hannah Gross in her Soulpepper and professional theatre debut.

Doc previews August 19, 2010, opens August 26, and runs until September 18, 2010 at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, located at 55 Mill Street, Building 49, in the Distillery Historic District. Tickets range from $31.20 - $75.33 (including 13% HST) and are available by calling the Young Centre box office at 416.866.8666 or by visiting soulpepper.ca. $22 tickets are available for 21-30 year-olds at stageplay.ca. StagePlay is sponsored by TD Bank Financial Group.

Doc is generously supported by Fiona Garland and Andrew Bentley + Kevin and Roger Garland.

2010 Soulpepper Lead Sponsors are: Sun Life Financial, Scotiabank Group and TELUS. Soulpepper gratefully acknowledges annual operating support from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Toronto Arts Council.

Soulpepper Theatre Company is an artist-founded, classical repertory theatre company with a three-tiered mandate: to present the world's greatest stories in vital Canadian interpretations; to train a new generation of theatre artists; and to inspire and enrich youth through mentorship and access programs.
