Factory Theatre has announced its plans for a reconfigured season to replace scripts by George F. Walker, Judith Thomson and Michel Marc Bouchard that were withdrawn by the playwrights in protest over the dismissal of former artistic director Ken Gass last June. The new season is designed by the interim artistic team of Nina Lee Aquino and Nigel Shawn Williams (pictured above), who were appointed in September.
There are two remaining productions from the Ken Gass-designed roster. The first is Every Letter Counts by Aquino, which will be directed by Williams. It runs from January 26 to February 24. Next up is Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata by composer Veda Hille & CBC's Bill Richardson. Co-produced by Acting Up Stage, it runs from January 30 to March 3.
New additions to the season are Iceland by Nicolas Billon, which runs from March 2 to 24, and Stopheart by Amy Lee Lavoie (May 4 to 26).
