Everyone is the sum total of past experiences. A character doesn't just spring to life at age 30. - Kelley Armstrong
And neither does a Theatre Company – Rosemary Doyle, Artist Director, Theatre Kingston

WE SPEAK is based on Monologues written by 21 Kingston Playwrights during our "I Speak" festival and features the works of 12 of those playwrights from and writing about Kington. These intertwining voices will shock and delight you with each of their takes on this place that we call home. Starring an all Kingston Cast: Selina Charelli, Johnny Jordon, Anne-Sophie Grenier, Ryan Clement, Tim Fort, Abigail Wolfe and Helen Bretzke. And Featuring the work of John Lazarus, Valerie Winslow, Anne- Sophie Grenier, Jim Garrard, Jane Shields, Christine Overall, Aida Sulcs, Amy Cadman, Rysia Andrade, Kelly Dear, Cliff Saunders, Elizabeth Saunders and Dramaturged by Rosemary Doyle. Tett Centre from Sept 16th - Oct 3rd
THE SYLVIA EFFECT is written and directed by Peter Hinton. Using Sylvia Plath and her poems as inspiration, this play speaks to the emotional confessions of four characters simply named: The Daughter, The Poet, The Mother, and The Son.
"Sylvia Plath became famous, partly because of the manner of her death. But as often the case with artistic success it was also a case of timing. Writing against time. This relationship to time, makes her an ideal subject for the theatre. The challenge for me is to get past the tragic story to whatever core of experience or truth might wait on the other side. Starring Katherine Gauthier, Ben Sanders, Margaret LaMarre and Rosemary Doyle. Baby Grand Oct 27 - Nov 14 2021
THESE DEEDS - A thriller written and directed by Craig Walker, Starring Thom Marriot as Bram Stoker, Jacob James as Buffalo Bill Cody, and Richard Sheridan Willis as Henry Irving presented as a stage reading at the Tett Centre Rehearsal Hall. November 21th, 2pm.
MERCY by Drew Carnwath, Directed by Rosemary Doyle and Starring Helen Bretzke and Tracey Guptill, Designed by Clelia Scala will be Theatre KIngston's second World Premier of the Season. A high powered Lawyer meeting with a high paid sexworker. If Mercy is ‘about’ anything, it is about performance and role-playing – in court, in bed, and on stage. It is only when we stop the role-playing, put down the masks and the armour, that we can truly see ourselves in others. To admit to weakness is the ultimate show of strength – except it is no ‘show’ at all: it’s us at our most authentic. This is MERCY.
In an out-of-the-way dive bar, Jordan meets with Katherine to hire her to seduce Jordan's Husband. What unfolds is an explosive play about power and class, sex and betrayal, compromise and redemption. Exciting twists, multiple deceptions, this is a power game of cat-and-mouse. But who's the cat and who's the mouse? MERCY proves once again that our vulnerabilities not only define us, but occasionally save us. Baby Grand March 10 - March 26 2022
MURDER HE WROTE - by John D Huston Charles Dickens is back, but instead of Scrooge he'll be thrilling us with his villians and cutthroats in a victorian mashup for the century. Huston pivots quickly between these indelible characters by turns sardonic, malevolent, quivering and pop-eyed with horror, his smile a shark’s smile. It’s a simple staging, Huston standing at a modified lectern wearing an old fashioned tuxedo, but his delivery is worth the cost of admission twice over.
THE TK FRINGE promises to be the glorious creation of the companies that join us! Two weeks of Theatre Chaos in the best way possible. Maybe you want to be part of it? AUG 4 - 14 2022 Uncurated, Uncensored, Unboring.

Theatre Kingston acknowledges the privilege it has to be working, playing, and creating on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee Territory. By acknowledging the land, we also acknowledge the history of European colonizers who took this land through cruel means and the harsh treatment instigated on the Indigenous people and their culture.
