A DREAM OF HOME COMES TRUE FOR TORONTO OPERETTA THEATRE at the EDWARD JACKMAN CENTRE Toronto, 19 January 2004…Peter Coy, Toronto
Operetta Theatre Board President and TOT General Director Guillermo
Silva-Marin announced today that the company has realized its long-term
‘dream of home’. After years of rehearsing in various rented
spaces at some distance from the office, Toronto Operetta Theatre has moved
to 947 Queen Street East at Carlaw. “With more that 3,000 square feet
at our disposal and a long-term lease, we are thrilled to have all our
operations under one roof”, enthused Silva-Marin. “Just imagine,
sufficient rehearsal space and our offices all at the same address. What a
way to start the New Year!”
Renovations at the EJC The location will be shared by Opera in Concert and the
fundraising for this project has come from both organizations. The Reverend
Edward Jackman through the Jackman Foundation has been for many years a major
supporter of both Opera in Concert and Toronto Operetta Theatre. The new
offices and rehearsal studio will be called the Edward Jackman Centre in his
honour.
Opening Ceremonies EJC Toronto Operetta Theatre and Opera in Concert are
not-for-profit arts organizations with a combined history of over 45 years.
With the move to 947 Queen Street East, both companies will have an operational
stability that neither could achieve separately. “I believe this is the
way to go”, commented TOT President Peter Coy. “Our two companies
have completely separate schedules and now both groups can be assured of
proper office and rehearsal space at one convenient location.” The Edward Jackman Centre, 947 Queen Street East, Second
Floor, Toronto, ON M4M 1J9 |
