DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Welcome to the 30th anniversary production of 2 Pianos 4 Hands. It’s amazing to think that it’s been that long since Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt wrote this show for themselves in Toronto in the 1990s. At the time, they had no idea how it would be received and were concerned that it would only appeal to other piano nerds. It turns out they needn’t have worried. As of 2025, 2 Pianos 4 Hands is one of the most successful Canadian plays in history, having played to nearly 2 million people in 10 different countries and 200 cities worldwide.

I recently wrote to Richard asking why he thought the show had such staying power. He wrote back: Although most people would describe the show’s journey and its continuing longevity as “successful,” I find it hard to quantify what that means...I think the populist nature of the story is what appeals to so many people. It’s hard to find anybody who didn’t have some kind of dream of greatness in whatever field. And with the unrealized dream that most of us experienced, the question of “what now?” is ubiquitous. Even extremely successful folks have sometimes told me that they actually had a dream of being successful in another field other than the one in which they are “successful.”

What struck me in the (much longer) note he sent, was how many ways he turned around the word “success,” questioning it and redefining it. As I age along with the show, I relate to that more and more. While 2P4H can be hilarious and impressive (we hope), it is also a powerful reminder that we get to decide what success is for each of us individually. It gives us permission to look kindly on the kid inside us that had a dream, no matter what came of it. May it continue doing that for a long time to come.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Hello Everyone!

I can’t believe that it is already fall and another season is beginning.

While summer is considered our downtime at the theatre, it is hardly quiet—there has been a lot going on preparing for the season. As I write this note, all of the directors and designers for the season have been hired and the design meetings, where we begin to explore what all of these shows will look like and what technical requirements they have, will have already happened. We have completely cast the first three shows of the season, and are building the sets for the first two, while prepping the third. Equipment has been cleaned and repaired, and we even had a new elevator installed in the theatre lobby!

We have a truly exciting season ahead, full of some of our most anticipated works, and I genuinely hope you are planning on joining us for all of it. It is a pleasure, and an honor, to bring this work to you. Thank you for supporting live theatre and Pioneer Theatre Company.

Karen

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Dear Friends and Fellow Theatre Lovers,

Welcome back! There’s nothing quite like the energy of a new season and the joy of gathering together to share stories that move and inspire us. Theatre reminds us that even in a fast-changing world, shared stories have the power to bring us closer, spark new ideas, and open our hearts to possibility.

After reflecting on my first year here at PTC, I am reminded of the profound importance and need for human connection; that’s why I am especially thrilled to welcome you to this incredible season, one that celebrates the joy of coming together and experiencing the magic of live theatre side by side.

To our subscribers: thank you for renewing. Your belief in PTC means the world to us. Subscriptions are more than tickets; they’re a commitment to keeping live theatre vibrant in our community. If you’re enjoying what you see here, I hope you’ll share it with friends, family, and colleagues. A personal invitation from you is one of the most powerful ways we can grow our circle.

We open this season with 2 Pianos 4 Hands—a joyful, funny, and heartfelt celebration of chasing dreams and embracing the beauty of music. It’s the perfect reminder of why we come together in the theatre: to laugh, to reflect, and to connect.

Thank you for being here.

With gratitude,
