Unlikely Friends At Bloor Street Station

"Unlikely Friends At Bloor Street Station" is a new play about two vastly different people who unexpectedly connect while waiting for a train in downtown Toronto. Babak and Shams lives are quickly veering off track, but as they uncomfortably make each other's acquaintance, they come to help one another unlock and confront difficult memories as they reside in agonizing impatience. This story is about the strength and fragility of family relationships, customs rooted in Persian culture, and our universal longing for love and connection.

Playwright and Director: Thalia Ranjbar

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.
