Soulpepper Theatre Company Announces the Opening of THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE at Young Centre for Performing Arts 3/18
Albert Schultz, Founding Artistic Director of Soulpepper Theatre Company, today announced that the company's production of The Time of Your Life will preview on March 16, 2011 and open on March 18, 2011 at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts.
William Saroyan's Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Time of Your Life returns to the Soulpepper stage with Stuart Hughes and Joseph Ziegler reprising their 2008 Dora Award-winning roles. As well, celebrated Canadian jazz pianist and vocalist Denzal Sinclaire will play the role of Wesley and score the show live. A nostalgic and open-eyed love letter to an America-that-might-have-been set in a late-1930s San Francisco honkytonk saloon, Saroyan mixes an intoxicating cocktail of redemption and hope.
Soulpepper Founding Artistic Director Albert Schultz, once again, directs Soulpepper Founding Members Stuart Hughes as Kit and Joseph Ziegler as Joe. The stellar cast includes Douglas John Alan, Derek Boyes, Kevin Bundy, Ins Choi, Tatjana Cornij, Oliver Dennis, Lyndun Hanrahan, John Jarvis, Trish Lindström, Jeff Lillico, Alyson MacFarlane, Abena Malika, Toby Malone, Krystin Pellerin, Gregory Prest, Karen Rae, Brenda Robins, Mike Ross, Michael Simpson, Denzal Sinclaire, Jane Spidell, Brendan Wall & William Webster.
The Time of Your Life previews March 16, 2011 and opens March 18, 2011 at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, located at 55 Mill Street, Building 49, in the Distillery Historic District.
