No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
Thomas Mann

 
There are many rewarding reasons to go to the theatre. You might be presented perspectives and ideas that are new to you, be moved by an extraordinary performance, or simply entertained by a great story. And great stories are at the heart of our 39th season at Prairie Theatre Exchange.  
 
PTE’s intimate theatre space and relaxed, friendly atmosphere is the perfect place to see the work of some of Canada’s best playwrights come to life on stage. You’ll attend a comical 30th High School reunion, witness a father and son reconciliation, travel over oceans on a anxious search and get caught in the middle of a hilarious confrontation with a telemarketer. You’ll know the characters that you’re seeing onstage - they’re in your family, they’re your neighbours, they might even be a bit like you. What they all have in common is that they’re thrust into changing situations where they will need to find out who they really are.
 
The situation at PTE is about to change, too. Following five months of deconstruction and reconstruction, we’ll be opening our new season with a newly renovated lobby and upgraded theatre. It’s going to be exciting to see it all come together. The changes will result in a lobby and lounge where you can come early and stay late to visit with friends and chat about the show. I hope to see you there, and promise you a season worth talking about.  
 
I hope that you’ll join us at Prairie Theatre Exchange for our 2011-2012 season.
