Talk Is Free Theatre on stages around the World
In addition to full seasons at home venue, every year Talk Is Free Theatre tours nationally and internationally as well as transferring a number of productions to Toronto and elsewhere. Touring is central to the company’s artistic philosophy to experiment and to devise unique new work through the lens of ensemble collaboration and longer periods of artistic gestation. Talk Is Free Theatre is actively pursuing innovative touring destinations, unique transfer partnerships and inspired co-productions for our existing and upcoming repertoire.
Some of our upcoming presence on stages around the world includes:
