U of T Magazine recently interviewed David Klausner about the history of our idiosyncratic name. Read the article here.

A new item has been added to our links page: Dispositio, the personal blog of PLS Board member Holger Schott Syme. One recent highlight was his participation in a fascinating discussion about the state of theatre in Toronto, with contributions from Jacob Zimmer (of Small Wooden Shoe) and David Ferry.

Dear friends of PLS,

We have added another performance of Three Farces From Three Lands, on Sunday night at 8pm.

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel tonight’s opening performance of Three Farces From Three Lands due to weather conditions and the closure of the University of Toronto. Saturday night and Sunday afternoon will go ahead as planned. An additional performance may be added on Sunday or Monday night at 8, to be announced shortly.

Three Farces From Three Lands opens tonight! The pie, the innuendo, the fights, the puppets! Need I say more?

(Actually, I will say one thing more: director’s notes have been added to the show page.)

Here are a few photos taken during the dress rehearsal. Come to the show to see more!
