Why I chose this play

“Each song gives me some reassurance that humans are innately good. Humans have the ability to think in the abstract and to find beauty in unexpected places. We make music, and music is never incidental. It is vital.”

— 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.

Prologue Series

The GCTC Prologue Series is back for another year of exciting discussions that take us into the creative process of the plays on our stage. 

The Prologue Series is free to the public and will take place before the second preview of each production at 6:45pm in the GCTC lobby. This event takes place on November 1 and will break from the previously established format to include a behind-the-scenes tour of GCTC. Conducting the tour will be GCTC Artistic Director/Ordinary Days Director Eric Coates, Ordinary Days Set & Lighting Designer/GCTC Production Manager Seth Gerry, and Ordinary Days Music Director Wendy Berkelaar.
