Through BENEFIT performances, it says "thank you" to the community.
It treats its audiences as honoured guests with an emphasis on HOSPITALITY.
How it happened...
Linden House was founded in 2007 by Janet Uren who, as an alumna and through
the generosity of Elmwood School, found herself with rare access to a wonderful
stage and auditorium. Every year, the company says thank you by hosting an
Elmwood Preview -- this year on October 21 -- with proceeds going in their entirety
to the Old Girls Endowment Scholarship Fund.
In the first year, 2007, Janet worked with director George Stonyk to present a
challenging verse drama -- The Lady's Not for Burning by Christopher Fry. In
subsequent years, the company gained experience and honed its understanding of
the kind and quality of play it wanted to produce -- intelligent comedies. And it began
to build audiences through annual productions -- Arms and the Man by George
Bernard Shaw in 2008 and Lettice & Lovage by Peter Shaffer in 2009.
In 2010, the company confirms its interest in classic comedy with a high-spirited
production of Blithe Spirit, by master comedian Noel Coward.
Theatre for the joy of it!
