Soulpepper is a theatre company based in Toronto, Ontario. Its artistic director is Albert Schultz, who has served in that position since the company's founding in 1998. ==History== Soulpepper was founded in 1998 by twelve Toronto artists who dreamed of a company that would produce lesser known theatrical classics. Soulpepper has since become an important part of Toronto's theatre scene. It often presents Canadian interpretations of works by such noted playwrights as Harold Pinter, Thornton Wilder, Samuel Beckett, Tom Stoppard and Anton Chekhov. László Marton, artistic director of the Vígszínház in Budapest, Hungary and one of the most important contemporary theatre directors, has had numerous productions over the years at Soulpepper: Molnár's The Play's the Thing (1999, 2003), Chekhov's Platonov (1999, 2000), Chekhov's Uncle Vanya (2001, 2002), Feydeau's A Flea in Her Ear (2001), and Ibsen's The Wild Duck (2005). Soulpepper's founding members are Martha Burns, Susan Coyne, Ted Dykstra, Michael Hanrahan, Stuart Hughes, Diana Leblanc, Diego Matamoros, Nancy Palk, Albert Schultz, Robyn Stevan, William Webster, Joseph Ziegler In 2005, the Soulpepper Theatre Company moved into its permanent building, the Young Centre for the Performing Arts. The joint project with the George Brown College theatre school was designed by local firm KPMB Architects and is located in Toronto's historic Distillery District. The theatre 2016 spring-summer schedule was announced in November 2015, including the first three parts of Suzan-Lori Parks' ''Father Comes Home from the Wars'' American Civil War saga, as well as debut works by five new directors. Schultz has underscored the 2016 schedule as a key part in the theatre's evolution from a classics-based company to one committed to gender equality and cultural diversity. From June to August, Soulpepper will also be filming a television series based on Ins Choi's ''Kim's Convenience'', which is set to premiere on CBC-TV in the winter of 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Soulpepper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
