A Toronto-based charitable theatre company is facing eviction from its valuable downtown space, leaving independent artists scrambling to find affordable alternatives. Founded in 2012 by Emily Dix, Matthew McGrath, and Thomas Beattie, Bygone Theatre is a registered charity with a mandate to produce theatre written or set in the early to mid-20th century. During their 12th season, Bygone Theatre launched a new initiative aimed at supporting new theatre companies with their first productions. Emily Dix, artistic executive director of Bygone Theatre and the lead behind The Bridge, took to Instagram to explain what this means for the one-of-a-kind theatre space. blogTO has reached out to Bygone Theatre for more information regarding its eviction and future steps.
