Thanks to everyone who came out and made this event a huge success.

We must be getting older: Our earliest such events in 2003 and 2004 were heavily beer and shooter based affairs. There was a noticeable rise in decent wines and single malt scotches this time around.

The Circle of Life, so it goes…..

P.S. It’s not too early to book your tickets to Underneath, opening August 7th at The Factory Theatre.

Just CLICK HERE to get yours today.

Praxis Party

Our last such party packed the Duke of York. This time we're taking all of our non-acts to The Cobourg.

Praxis Theatre heads to The Cobourg for a night of good tunes, friendly company, access to reasonably priced alcohol, and celebration!

TONIGHT:
533 Parliament Street
8pm to 1am
$10 @ le door

No variety acts. No acts whatsoever!

Come have a drink with us and celebrate the ridiculous summer schedule that only Praxis would be brave/insane enough to take on.

2 new Canadian works, 2 casts, 2 directors, 2 stage managers, 2 design teams.

1 SHOW DOWN, 1 TO GO:

Our production of Tim Buck 2 @ Toronto Fringe was a huge success.

Our production of Underneath @ Summerworks is fast approaching.

All powered by local artists leveraging their labour to get new original works off the ground.

Stop by for a drink, or stay for the evening. We’d love to see you there!

Cheers to everyone who braved the first truly terrible weather of the season in Toronto to join Praxis Theatre at the Duke of York on Saturday night. There was a great turnout, it was a good time, and there are pictures to prove it.
