2008/2009 Season
Their 2008/2009 season consists of two works. One is Late, a play described as a discourse on life and love written by Marcia Johnson and directed by Marjorie Chan. The companion piece for this is Black Medea by aboriginal Australian playwright Wesley Enoch who moved the classic Greek tragedy to his home country. Director (and Obsidian Theatre founding member) Philip Akin then re-imagined the work for a Canadian audience.
Funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, Obsidian's professional training program is grounded in the philosophy of training through exploration and production to enhance knowledge, share skills, increase marketability and strengthen community.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“Much poetry seems to be aware of its situation in time and of its relation to the metronome, the clock, and the calendar. ... The season or month is there to be felt; the day is there to be seized. Poems beginning “When” are much more numerous than those beginning “Where” of “If.” As the meter is running, the recurrent message tapped out by the passing of measured time is mortality.”
—William Harmon (b. 1938)
