Theatre Awakening is a project-based theatre company dedicated
to creating live performance that awakens the mind. Our aim is to
engage audiences with Canadian and international plays that
challenge individuals to expand their horizons and look at the
world from a multitude of perspectives.
Founded in 2008 by Andrew Lamb and Robert Watson, Theatre
Awakening’s inaugural production was In Darfur, written by New
York playwright and journalist Winter Miller. Staged as part of the
Summerworks Theatre Festival, In Darfur received wide acclaim for
its bold portrayal of based-on-real-life events concerning the
humanitarian crisis and genocide in Sudan.
Going forward, Theatre Awakening plans to continue in its
development of work that dares its audience think, question, and
reflect upon preconceived notions about the world around us. We
look forward to having you join us as we undertake this new and
exciting journey.
