Metamorphoses 2020

Produced by Theatre Smith-Gilmour

UPDATE: The Theatre Centre has made the difficult decision to close our building to the public as of Monday, March 16, 2020 until Sunday, April 5, 2020, inclusive. We have chosen this period in line with recent recommendations announced by Toronto Public Health.

The upcoming Theatre Smith Gilmour production of Metamorphoses 2020 is currently going forward as planned. We will update this page as the situation changes.

During this time, we ask for your patience as we reach out to ticket buyers to process donations and returns. Any ticketing inquiries should be made via email to [email protected]. General inquiries should be directed to [email protected].

“Metamorphoses” is survival. To be alive is to change, to transform. Human beings have many identities. Everything changes. Nothing dies. The soul wanders here and there. It inhabits whatever body it pleases. What just was, is no longer and what isn’t, is about to be. Every moment is a rebirth. What you are or were, is not what you will be tomorrow. Being born is the beginning of being something other than what you were before. Dying is the end of what you once were. But the soul never dies.

“Some of my all-time favourite moments have been when something hilariously awkward happens in public and I catch the eyes of a stranger and for a second we know exactly what each other is thinking. And then we go about our lives. It’s a beautiful intimacy.” For actor, director, and writer Gregory Prest, even a...
