As Canadian artists
living in Los Angeles, Sara Botsford, director, producer, award
winning Canadian actress, and Chris Brown, director and visual
effects supervisor, partners in 49th Parallel Theatre, believe
there is something missing in the Los Angeles theatre scene.
That something is a voice from the north.
To that end, 49th Parallel will produce Canadian plays by new
authors and by internationally recognized, award winning authors
such as George F. Walker, Jason Sherman, Judith Thompson, Daniel
MacIvor, David French, John Murrell, Michel Tremblay, Morris
Panych, David Young, and the late Timothy Findlay. |
"PALACE
OF THE END" WINS ACCOLADES…
***Congratulations
to writer Judith Thompson,
winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize 2008!
We are
proud to announce that Judith Thompson has been awarded the prestigious Susan
Smith Blackburn Prize for Palace of the End. This marks the first time a Canadian
writer has received the prestigious playwriting award's highest honor in its
30 year history.
After successful runs in LA and Toronto, PALACE was voted LA Weekly’s Top
10 “Best of Theatre” 2007 and dubbed as Thompson’s "most
brilliantly sustained piece of writing in years" (Toronto Star). It is
now set to open in New York City this June, presented by Epic Theatre Ensemble.
***Congratulations to Anna
Khaja,
Kate Mines and Michael Catlin
