Toronto based, Factory Theatre continues to commit to diversity this season as it programs “Beyond the Great White North,” six new plays, each written by a playwright of colour. It is a strong move from a company that was already committed to diversity and inclusion through Canadian theatre.
“It’s just the start of a dialogue, as if I were pushing a dish to the centre of the table and asking artists and audience to sample different tastes. I’m always looking for work that offers an intersection, a collision of ideas. I’m always attracted to scripts where the lines blur, where the safety net is cut. That’s where real dialogue can happen.”
