Wow, we always an annual Shakespeare play as well as some dinner theater and other regular productions (Sexual Perversity in Chicago, Waiting for the Parade, Nothing Sacred, Blood Wedding, etc.). In my last couple of years there we scored the studio space over in the Athletics Centre... we did some experimental stuff and a series of one act plays (Mamet's Duck Variations, Beckett's End Days, and other such things).

Sounds like they really started to experiment though.

As for the GCTC, I had friends who were regularly in GCTC productions. I used to go to most opening nights there... a lot of great productions.
