East End Special Players
About
Bay Street Theater and East End Special Players' Collaboration
In 2019, Bay Street Theater and the East End Special Players launched a new relationship: Bay Street would commit to premiering all new plays by the East End Special Players. Bay Street’s Executive and Artistic Directors believed that the new works by the Players, like other companies filled with talented actors and writers, should have their new shows premiere on Bay Street’s stage. In addition, the Players can grow their access to other professionals working in the world of theater.

VISION
Increased Exposure and Artistic Growth for the Players
By providing an artistic "home" for the Premier Performances, the Players are seen more often on Bay Street’s stage and able to interact with other professional performers.
