written on the heart | interview with david edgar
This Sunday we will mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation with a staged reading of David Edgar's WRITTEN ON THE HEART. We love this opportunity to partner with our landlords and neighbours at Holy Trinity Anglican Church and delve into the historical background of the Bible. Here is a lovely video from the Royal Shakespeare Company, the original producers of the play, interview David Edgar about the background and research that went into this script.

written on the heart | meet the cast
Coming up this weekend, we're jumping upstairs to the Holy Trinity sanctuary to do a one-day-only staged reading of WRITTEN ON THE HEART by David Edgar, and we've go an incredible team for this once in a lifetime event!
Familiar PT faces include Ron Reed, our Artistic Director, John Voth and Kenton Klassen (both THE LONESOME WEST), Camyar Chai (THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT), Jalen Saip (SIDESHOW), John Emmet Tracy (OUTSIDE MULLINGAR), Brandon Bate (past apprentice), and Mariam Barry (THE CHRISTIANS).
Newcomers to our stage, some long-awaited, include Dean Paul Gibson, Kyle Jespersen, Russell Roberts, Anthony Santiago, and Sebastian Peters.
In case you weren't counting, that's thirteen actors, and many are playing multiple roles. We can't wait to share this exciting historical drama with you to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

2017-2018 | artwork spotlight | written on the heart and almost, maine
Next up in our series highlighting the stunning artwork created for our season by Emily Cooper: WRITTEN ON THE HEART and ALMOST, MAINE. Two stories that couldn't be more different!
WRITTEN ON THE HEART tells the story of the formation of the King James Bible. We wanted an image that was straightforward and still depicted the multi-layered story, including some bloody drama. It needed to be clear that it was historical, literary, and Biblical. Emily brought us a few options to begin with, including one of just the Bible with a spattering of blood on it. In the end, we opted for this image: a bit more complex, depicting some of the relationships in the story.
A thoroughly charming collection of love stories, ALMOST, MAINE's image needed to communicate love and a touch of whimsy on a cold winter night. Emily created a few versions of this image, and we were smitten! The winter setting, fun, romance, and little touch of silliness is perfect for this story.

2017-2018 season | staff picks | andrea
Our Director of Marketing and Publicity, Andrea Loewen, has a few shows she is most looking forward to next season.
THE CHRISTIANS
This play is exactly the kind of thing I love PT for: smart, human, compelling questions about who we are, what we believe, and how we love each other.
RUINED
I am almost at a loss for words when it comes to Ruined. The story is so necessary, so dark, so real, and has just enough hope to keep you going. I cannot WAIT to see it on stage.
WRITTEN ON THE HEART
Staged readings are one of my favourite things that we do! I love the opportunity to experience a play in a stripped-down way and really get into the words.
