Great Canadian Theatre Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Canadian Theatre Company, known for short as GCTC, is a professional theatre company based in Ottawa,Canada. It was established in 1975. The company specialises in the production of Canadian plays.
The group has its origins in a season of Canadian theatre produced by the Sock 'n' Buskin Theatre Company at Carleton University. From Carleton, the company moved to a converted firehall in Ottawa South (presently the Ottawa South Community Centre) and then, in 1982, to a 230 seat theatre on Gladstone Avenue. In September 2007 the company moved into a larger venue called the Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre[1]
The September 2007 issue of (Cult)u're Magazine described the GCTC as "Ottawa’s pre-eminent promoter of Canadian theatrical content."
Among playwrights whose works have been performed by the company are:
- Jean-Marc Dalpé
- David French
- Linda Griffiths
- Wendy Lill
- Ann-Marie MacDonald
- Morris Panych
- Judith Thompson
- Michel Tremblay
- George F. Walker
