From sparks to a sizzle to explosion – this, as a matter of fact, is the story of the FireWorks series at Alumnae Theatre in Toronto.

Alumnae is home to one of the oldest theatre companies in Canada.  Founded in 1919 by women graduates from the University of Toronto and still operating with all-female membership and administrative team (though men are welcome to act, direct, design and stage-manage), she occupies a beautiful former firehall on Berkeley Street, just paces north of Canadian Stage, and puts on four mainstage productions per year, and a festival entitled New Ideas.
