Description:

This recording of commentary and interviews related to Toronto's Crest Theatre (1954-1966) focuses on a major change in the theatre's direction.~Co-founder Murray Davis is interviewed about the new concept of a small, permanent company with a repertoire of productions, using guest actors for various parts. Davis discusses funding; the musical "Mr. Scrooge" which he plans to direct; other directors for the season and the new emphasis on school audiences.~Also interviewed are Toronto director Kurt Reis, who will help stage the opening play in the new repertoire, and the Crest's resident designer [Tom Spalding]. The program ends with the comment that the theatre's success or failure can't be predicted (see notes). <27mn>
