Hitchcock Hotel at Papermill Theatre

Toronto Film School acting students will bring a “cinematic six-pack of Hitch-flicks” to the stage, when they launch their production of Hitchcock Hotel at Papermill Theatre next week.

Conceived and directed by Jonathan Higgins, the 75-minute play takes its inspiration from the ‘Master of Suspense’ and ‘Artist of Anxiety’ himself, Alfred Hitchcock.

“Hitchcock made 53 films in his long and storied career, leaving an indelible stamp on both cinema and popular culture with movies such as Psycho, Rear Window, The Birds, and Vertigo, to name just a few,” said Higgins.

“Though a tall order, it has been immensely enjoyable for me to be able to work with the abundant talents of TFS Term 5’s to distill from the vast vault of his films a cinematic six-pack of Hitch-flicks we have transformed into an original theatrical offering."

Hitchcock Hotel, which is stage managed by Krystal Maria, will take to the stage at the Papermill Theatre for a three-performance run on June 18, 19 and 20 as follows:

- Tuesday, June 18 at 9 p.m.

- Wednesday, June 19 at 7 p.m.

- Thursday, June 20 at 9 p.m.

The Papermill Theatre is located at Todmorden Mills, 67 Pottery Rd. Tickets are free and available at the door.
