Why I chose this play
“I am tickled by a love story that delves into the surreal. When the simple act of love is reduced to market research; you either have to give up, or laugh in spite of yourself.”
— 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. Hosted by CTV Television Personality Stefan Keyes, the event takes place on September 22 and the guests include:
Bronwyn Steinberg (GCTC Artistic Direction Intern)
Adrienne Wong (Director of You Are Happy)
John Doucet (Set Designer of You Are Happy)
