Why I chose this play

“My family is radically different than the one in this play, but it made me feel as though I were standing face-to-face with my siblings or parents or children, seething with frustration, but still feeling that ineffable tenderness of family.”

— Eric Coates, Artistic Director

Stages & Pages

The Ottawa Public Library and GCTC have come together in a special partnership to help you explore the themes and topics raised in each play during GCTC’s 2017-2018 season.

OPL’s Readers’ Advisory staff have read the scripts for each of the plays, and recommended resources to further the exploration of their themes. The resources will only add to the experience of seeing the show, and can be explored before or after being part of the audience.
