In the week since Harriet's House was performed at Hart House Theatre, the artistic team has been busy with taking stock on what worked to make the production successful and what could be done differently next time.
In the week since Harriet's House was performed I also began to send the play out to other theatres who might be interested in co-producing a second production of the play with Gailey Road Productions. Over the last year or so, I've been collecting names of Canadian and American theatres who produce women-centred and LGBTQ work. Including the NOW Magazine profile of the play and the comments made by audience members who attended the premiere of the play at Hart House Theatre, I sent out five letters of inquiry to five different theatres.
Finally, director Jocelyn Wickett and I met with Jaclyn Isen of Toronto's Queer West Arts Festival and LeVack Block restaurant in Little Italiy this week to discuss the possibility of producing a reading of Harriet's House in the festival (http://queerwest.org/queerwestfest_official_events.php). The Festival will take place from August 7-15, 2010.
Jocelyn and I are happy to announce that a reading of Harriet's House with the Hart House Theatre cast will take place on August 10, 2010 at 8 pm in the back room of LeVack Block. Tickets will be about $5.00 and all proceeds will go to the cast and director. Levack Block will be serving dinner that night so folks going to the reading can arrive early, have dinner, and then make their way to the reading at 8:00 pm.
LeVack Block is located at 88 Ossington Avenue between Dundas and Queen.
All the best,
Tara
