Western Gold Theatre was founded in 1994 by the distinguished Canadian actor and director Joy Coghill to establish a community of senior performing artists. The company aims to produce and present outstanding professional theatre that expands horizons and enriches the lives of mature artists and their audiences. Western Gold Theatre also offers powerful role modeling, creative opportunity and active engagement to a rapidly growing senior population as well as providing inspiration to diverse generations of theatre lovers. Bringing Western Gold Theatre into your community is a chance to see some of Vancouver's most illustrious performers, the names of whom are instantly recognizable to anyone even vaguely familiar with the development of professional theatre in Canada. Western Gold's seminal production was a creative exploration entitled The Dream Project which was the subject of a CBC documentary, The Courage to Dream, and which culminated in a workshop production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Other productions include Alice: A Play With Music by John Lazarus presented at the Arts Club Theatre, Strangers Among Us by Aaron Bushkowsky which won two Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards and was presented at the Roundhouse Theatre, and One Last Kiss, also by Bushkowsky, which was co-produced by the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre and Victoria's Belfry Theatre.

San Diego Repertory Theatre was born of a street theatre group called Indian Magique in 1976. The company was founded by Sam Woodhouse and Douglas Jacobs and had its first home in the Sixth Avenue Playhouse. Productions there included 19 San Diego premieres and 12 West Coast premieres of such plays as American Buffalo, The Unseen Hand, Curse of the Starving Class, Ladyhouse Blues, Getting Out, Wings, Working, Bleacher Bums, and K2. World premieres included Funeral March for a One-Man Band and Gold!, a project developed by the company (which included Whoopi Goldberg). Since 1976, the REP has staged A Christmas Carol, reinventing and restaging Dickens's immortal holiday story every two to three years. In 1986, the REP moved to the new Lyceum Theatres in Horton Plaza, marking the beginning of a unique partnership with the City of San Diego. The REP took on the role of Resident Manager of the Lyceum complex, providing year-round services to other arts and community organizations. In a single year, 350- 400 performances are presented in the theatres, with an annual attendance of over 150,000 people. Of these events, two-thirds are co-productions between the REP and more than 40 community organizations. Highlights of the REP's first years of work in the Lyceum include Holy Ghosts, which was taken to New York as part of the prestigious American Theatre Exchange; the West Coast premiere of Peter Barnes' Red Noses, which won the San Diego Critics' Circle Award for Best Production; and the long running musical comedy, Six Women with Brain Death, or Expiring Minds Want to Know. In the past 30 seasons, the REP has produced 40 world premieres, including A Quiet Love by Rick Najera; A Diva Like Me by Ren Woods; Albanian Softshoe by Mac Wellman; Thin Air: Tales of a Revolution by Lynne Alvarez; The Life and Life of Bumpy Johnson by Amiri Baraka with music by Max Roach; Ruby's Bucket of Blood by Julie Hebert with music by Mark Bingham; R. Buckminster Fuller: The History and Mystery of the Universe by Douglas Jacobs; The Mad Dancers by Yehuda Hyman; Earthquake Sun, written and directed by Luis Valdez; Three Mo' Divas written and directed by Marion J. Caffey; Nuevo California, written by Bernardo Solano and Allan Havis; and Oxygen by Carl Djerrasi and Roald Hoffman. Several plays have had their Spanish language world premieres as part of the REP's Teatro Sin Fronteras initiative, including El Ladron de Corazones by Octavio Solis and La Plaza Chica, written, translated, and directed by MarÃa Irene Fornés. In 1996, Artistic Director Sam Woodhouse founded the Calafia Initiative - a long-term commitment to provoking unlikely partnerships that lead to new works of performance that speak to the past and future of our binational region. The Calafia Initiative has hosted a series of renowned international artists-in-residence, including designers Alejandro Luna and Tolita Figueroa from Mexico City; conductor Eduardo Garcia Barrios from Lima, Peru; composer Joseph Julian Gonzalez; playwrights Rick Najera and Elaine Romero; and most prominently playwrights, Bernardo Solano and Luis Valdez, who both joined the REP artistic team in extended multi-year residencies. To date, Calafia has supported 18 new works including: the commissioning, developing and world premiere of Culture Clash in Bordertown, built by Culture Clash through interviews with 100 regional citizens, a tri-lingual Misa Azteca oratorio by Joseph Julian Gonzalez; the world premiere of Celebration of the Lizard, a new musical fable featuring the music of Jim Morrison and the Doors; three new plays about the diverse people of the San Diego neighborhood of City Heights called Around the World in a Single Day. Restless Spirits, regarding stories and legends of displacement written by Allan Havis, had its world premiere run January 28 through February 19, 2006. The REP has established a reputation for creating innovative productions of the classics. Recent revivals include Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and KING LEAR, Goldoni's Mirandolina, and Clare Booth Luce's The Women, directed by Anne Bogart. Over the past decade, the REP has earned unprecedented critical acclaim by amassing more than 100 DramaLogue Awards and San Diego's Critics Circle Awards. Just this past January, San Diego Repertory Theatre received the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle 2005 Craig Noel Award "For 30 Years of Artistic Dedication to Downtown and Diversity". San Diego Repertory Theatre is the city's most prominent downtown theatre. The third-largest professional theatre in San Diego, we employ over 800 artists, craftspeople, collaborators, and consultants a year, as well as serving audiences of 150,000 people each season. Currently celebrating our 30th Anniversary Season, the REP operates on a budget of $3.3 million. San Diego Repertory Theatre has achieved national renown for its adventurous programming and artistic excellence, making significant contributions in the areas of: commissioning and producing new works; enriching and re-interpreting the classics through the inclusion of multiple artistic disciplines; embracing cultural diversity both on stage and off; and developing regionally-voiced work as a theatrical form. As the "Cultural Town Hall" for San Diego, we produce distinguished professional theatre and grassroots performance, offering the people of San Diego the opportunity to come together and reflect on the place we call home.

Magnus Theatre has established a number of community relationships which include the Thunder Bay Children's Festival, the Mayor's Luncheon for the Arts, The Thunder Bay Fringe Festival, Arts Alive Festival, and Arts Week. The Theatre also shares its resources by renting the facility and costumes to companies for performances, as well as acting as a resource for community theatre companies. Throughout the theatre's history, it was obvious that Magnus would eventually outgrow the small hall that had served as its home for so many years, and the need for improved facilities became increasingly apparent. Magnus began its search for a new space in the early-nineties and in 1997 decided to build. Magnus inaugurated its 2001-2002 30th Anniversary Season in a newly built theatre attached to the historic Central School House, which houses Magnus' administrative offices, in Waverley Park heritage district.

Unicorn Theatre is one of the leading producers of professional theatre for young people in Britain. Founded in 1947, our mission is to create amazing shows for young people which are fun, challenging and exciting - shows which rise to the challenge of young people's imaginations. We believe that theatre for young people should have the same high standards as theatre for adults, and we're committed to providing young people with opportunities to learn and play through the arts. Our Artistic Team creates shows that both families and school groups come and enjoy at the theatre, and our Education Team takes projects combining drama, storytelling, music and the visual arts into schools throughout London. We are now based in our new world-class theatre centre in the heart of London. It is comprised of two theatre spaces (the Weston Theatre and the Clore Theatre), education studio, cafe and other welcoming areas for families and schools. On the south bank of the Thames, this new theatre will enrich the lives of over 100,000 young people, their families and teachers every year. The Unicorn is actually made up of two organisations which work closely together. Caryl Jenner Productions (named after our founder) is known as Unicorn Theatre for young people, because, as she said; "[a Unicorn] is an exciting figure of legend, a thing intangible and uncatchable; he exists only if you believe in him and we feel this is a stimulating idea for young people." Caryl Jenner Productions is the organisation which commissions, produces and markets all the Unicorn's shows.
