Company Summary
The first stumbling steps in the life of Sudbury Theatre Centre were the direct result of The Awkward Stage, a book that reported the findings of a 1967 theatre study funded by the Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts. The Chairperson of the project was Lt. Governor Pauline McGibbon; Sudbury’s representative was Peg Roberts.
The publication recommended Sudbury as the most likely site for a permanent professional theatre, and the Gryphon Theatre Co. of Barrie approached local amateur theatre groups for sponsorship of a production. Despite initial resistance, five local individuals were eager to support the trial. Each knew that the establishment of a resident professional organization was the next step in the flourishing theatrical activities being conducted by amateur and school groups.
