Canada's most prolific playwright takes the stage

On Wednesday, September 23 at 4 pm, Hart House Theatre is proud to present an afternoon of discussion and exploration with Canada's most prolific and well-known playwright, George F. Walker. This event is scheduled during the run of the World Premiere of Walker's We the Family on our stage from September 18-October 3.
Known for his biting wit, dark comedy and satirical take on urban living, a talk by Walker promises to have you laughing while mourning the lot of the poor, the underclass and, yes, even Donald Trump.
