spaces in which they perform. Theatre Passe Muraille is located on Ryerson Avenue in the Alexandra Park neighbourhood of Toronto. The building was originally a bakery built in 1902 and has served several purposes over the decades. When TPM took the building over it had fallen under disrepair and large renovations were undertaken to bring the building up to the required standards. A second round of renovations began in 1983, the most important additions of which were the building of a large cruciform opening in the floor of the second storey and the installation of a lighting grid. The theatre houses two stages: the "Mainspace" which seats 185 and the "Backspace" which seats 55. The space was designated a historic building in 1977 by the Toronto Historical Board under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, noting that, "the skillful use of brick and classical architectural design elements in the facade gives prominence in the neighbourhood" Artistic directors Jim Garrard (1968-1969) Martin Kinch, John Palmer, Paul Thompson (1969-1972) Paul Thompson (1972-1981) Clarke Rogers (1982-1987) Brian Richmond (1988-1990) Layne Coleman (1991) Susan Serran (1992-1996) Layne Coleman (1997-2007) Andy McKim (2007-2019) Marjorie Chan (2019- ) Chalmers Canadian Play Awards 2000 The Drawer Boy by Michael Healey and Alien Creature: A Visitation from Gwendolyn MacEwen by Linda Griffiths 1997 Stuck by David Rubinoff 1995 The Alistair Trilogy by Nadia Ross and Diane Cave 1993 A Play About the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo by Alisa Palmer and Hillar Liitoja and The Stillborn Lover by Timothy Findley 1990 Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing by Tomson Highway 1989 Fire by Paul Ledoux, David Young and Otis Black Well 1986 Jessica by Linda Griffiths with Maria Campbell Notes External links Official site Theatre Passe Muraille at the Canadian Encyclopedia Theatres in Toronto Theatre companies in Toronto
