Docket Theatre

Docket Theatre Docket Theatre is an independent theatre company based in downtown Toronto. We produce original, innovative, and socially relevant plays.

Upcoming Events:

We are happy to announce that we are doing a remount of Rosamund Small's Performing Occupy Toronto for one day only! Witness a historical and relevant theatrical experiment. October 15th marks the one-year anniversary of the beginning of Occupy Toronto. In conjunction with this historic event, Docket Theatre presents Performing Occupy Toronto, a verbatim theatre piece based on th

e Occupy Toronto movement. Docket first premiered Rosamund Small’s original play at the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse in June 2012, and is proud to remount this FREE site-specific production in the location where the occupation took place – St James Park. An hour before the show, come experience Docket’s park-wide, multi-disciplinary carnival of expression! Over 30 young artists from different backgrounds (including spoken word, dance, music, visual art, busking, etc) will share pieces inspired by political and social issues in Toronto over the past year. Artists will explore how Occupy’s call to action has influenced Torontonians over the past year and what the future holds. Performing Occupy Toronto is a script taken word-for-word from real life interviews at the Occupy Toronto Protest in 2011. It charts the beginning of the occupation at St. James Park, the conflict within the movement, and the eventual eviction. Small’s composition weaves together the events of the occupation with impartiality, respect and humanity, creating a story full of wit, emotional insight and political charge. Through the evening events, artists will explore how Occupy’s call to action has evolved over the past year and what the future holds.

6:00pm: Park-wide art installation
7:00pm: Performing Occupy Toronto (at the gazebo)
Admission: FREE! Rain or shine, the show will go on! Check the weather on the day, and dress accordingly! For warmth: BYO(blanket), BYO(coffee or tea)

Cops show up for rehearsal again! These guys were really nice, stuck around to watch our "Waiting for the Police to Evict The Park" scene. Irony abounds.
