Today, TIFT Artistic Director Michael Torontow and CEO Arkady Spivak announced details of the company’s upcoming Winter Season of eclectic in-person, online and hybrid theatrical experiences. The winter programming invites audiences to engage with fresh perspectives on a variety of divisive subjects faced today.
Running from January to April 2022, winter programming includes the Canadian arrival of TIFT’s internationally acclaimed production of a Broadway classic, in-person and hybrid adventures of self-discovery, an electrifying critique of generational differences and more.
"Don't bother planning that winter vacation—this season, we're taking you so many places you've never been, you'll wish you didn't waste your money renewing your passport." - Michael Torontow, Artistic Director.
