Line up early for these (as early as an hour prior to showtime) in the Rush Line outside the doors at 227 Front St. E., the entrance closest to Berkeley St.
Getting here by TTC: take the King Streetcar, or Sherbourne bus and then a short walk down to Front Street. Street parking is limited. Direct drop-offs in front of the building are available. There is no on-site parking, but there is street parking in front of the building. Parking for all events is just steps away at the GREEN P lot on Berkeley Street.

ABOUT BOUND
This December 2017, Artistic Director Joel Ivany and Music Director Topher Mokrzewski collaborate with recent Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award winner, composer Kevin Lau, to bring Handel’s music—which evokes themes of abandonment, neglect and betrayal—into the present. In the wake of the world’s refugee crisis, this staged workshop will explore the current state of those displaced, dehumanized and mistreated, with texts and stories drawn from real-life news articles and world events. #AtGBound is the first workshop in a three-year “concept to realization” production, which launches this year. Sung in English. New English libretto by Joel Ivany.
