We are thrilled to be jointly hosting this event with The Greely Players, North Grenville Community Theatre, The Lakeside Players, Rural Root, Dundas County Players and Smiths Falls Community Theatre.

It was so wonderful to see you all at The Way We Were. Seeing you all in person really put the 50 years of ITR in perspective, we have accomplished so much together!

We enjoyed performances of scenes from various plays, some with the original actors. For those who are not with us anymore, there was also an In Memoriam presentation which you can now view on our About Us page.

ITR Theatre Company is planning to submit “You Have New Relatives”, a brand-new play written by Mary Jane Maffini through the ITR Play Writing Workshop, to be performed at the EODL One-Act Play Festival which will be held the first weekend of November in Kemptville.

We want to thank everyone who came out to our production of The One Act Play That Went Wrong. It was such a joy to see you all again!

The first event in our 50 the Anniversary Celebration, Death by Dénouement, A Mary Jane Maffini Murder
Mystery was a huge success. We also were able to raise $840 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The next event on our anniversary calendar is “The Way We Were” which is a retrospective of scenes we
all love from shows over our 5 decades...

Happy New Year! We hope you had a fantastic holiday season. 2023 marks huge year for ITR, it is our 50th anniversary! We have lots in store for you all, starting with Deadly Denouement: a slightly dangerous dinner theatre play.
