Sitting on a shelf, hidden in a closet, or filed away

It was 40 years ago that Expo 67 opened in Montreal on April 27th. Expo was a major international cultural showcase to mark Canada’s 100^th birthday. Forty years later, I still have my Expo 67 Passport. This got me thinking about the things that I’ve saved from GCTC. I have season brochures dating back to 1992. That year included works by Joan Macleod, George Walker, George Seremba, and Ottawa’s own Katherine Sandford. There were seasons with themes, like Micheline Chevrier’s “Portraits of Women” season (1997-98), Lorne Pardy’s season on reflection (2000-01) entitled “A Look In” and seasons that marked anniversary milestones. This small stack of brochures represents world premieres, co-productions, collective creations, and just some great moments in theatre. -- Send your memories to Kate Wright at wricom@rogers.com for our Farewell to 910 Gladstone event.
