about theatrefront

Theatrefront is dedicated to stretching the boundaries of the human experience through theatre. Founded by Artistic Director Daryl Cloran, the company provides an environment for dramatic risks and for developing the trust and confidence for theatre professionals to push themselves to new emotional and physical limits. This objective has resulted in challenging contemporary works, sold-out performances and the development of several new Canadian plays.

reviews

"Up and coming director Daryl Cloran has assembled a young cast bursting with talent the likes of which I have not seen since the heyday of Robin Phillips' Young Company at Stratford."

Christopher Hoile, Stage Door, January 2001 (Our Country's Good review)

"Theatrefront's Artistic Director Daryl Cloran has pole-vaulted to the forefront of the city's up-and-coming theatre artists."

Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine

"Theatrefront has become synonymous with theatre that challenges yet entertains its audience."

Greg Burliuk, Kingston Whig-Standard
