PLEIADES THEATRE produces outstanding works of theatre in translation and also engages youth through educational outreach.

We envision that Canadian lives are enriched by the shared stories of world cultures expressed through theatre.

We produce plays from the Canadian and international repertoires. We present these in modern, Canadian translations and innovative productions. New or classical, they are selected for their entertainment value and because they introduce writers and styles not widely known to Toronto audiences. Also, through training, workshops and outreach, we make a concerted effort to ensure that the creative process of theatre is accessible to young people of various cultural backgrounds. We do this through our bilingual educational program, Speak the Speech! This work is integral to our operation and our philosophy.
