Dear Friends of New Stages,
This season we offer four staged readings of remarkable plays and a cabaret evening filled with music and laughter.
I am excited to have Angels in America, Parts I and II be part of The Page on Stage Series. Each play stands on its own as a thrilling theatrical experience. Seeing both promises to be captivating.
I deeply appreciate your willingness to come with us on this journey to explore plays that will engage and enrich our understanding of the world.

UNHOLY, by Diane Flacks

IF TRUTH BE TOLD, by Beverley Cooper
SUNDAY FEBRUARY 11, 2018, 7:30 pm An internationally celebrated writer returns home to discover deep resentment from within her community. Inspired in part by Peterborough's response to Margaret Laurence's The Diviners in the 70s, the play is a compelling examination of art and censorship. *The participation of these artists is arranged by permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association under the provisions of the Dance-Opera-Theatre Policy. |

ANGELS IN AMERICA, by Tony Kushner
Part One: Millenium Approaches SUNDAY APRIL 22, 2018, 7:30 pm America in the 80s is reeling with the AIDS crisis and the conservative Reagan administration. Everyone is grappling with life and death, love and sex, and heaven and hell. *The participation of these artists is arranged by permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association under the provisions of the Dance-Opera-Theatre Policy. |

ANGELS IN AMERICA, by Tony Kushner
Part Two: Perestroika SUNDAY MAY 27, 2018, 7:30 pm We leave behind the opportunistic 80s to form a new sense of community in the 90s as people struggle to find a sense of meaning and resolution in their lives. Angels in America: Parts 1 and Parts 2 each stands on its own merits and can be appreciated without seeing the other. Seeing them both in close succession is a special treat for this season. *The participation of these artists is arranged by permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association under the provisions of the Dance-Opera-Theatre Policy. |

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18, 2017, 7:30 pm New Stages' annual crowd-pleasing cabaret! This night of music and comedy features a catalogue of songs that are bonafide hits--and some that never quite made the billboard charts, but deserve another listen. Hear some of Canada's (and Peterborough's) finest musical theatre performers doing what they do best. *The participation of these artists is arranged by permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association under the provisions of the Dance-Opera-Theatre Policy. |
