THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON

November 1 – 16

An Ex Machina Production presented by Canadian Stage

Canadian legend Robert Lepage returns to Canadian Stage after sold-out productions of 887 and Needles and Opium.

Set against the Cold War’s fierce U.S.-Soviet rivalry, this gripping story explores the personal and political turmoil of an era defined by global tension with a uniquely Canadian perspective. Through the tale of two Quebec City brothers, Lepage’s stunning use of multimedia and visual storytelling draws the audience into a world on the brink of change and portrays the impact of global conflict on the individual.

Suzanne is a stellar media relations strategist with unmatched passion for her arts and culture clients. She is a vital partner for any artist, creator, or company hoping to amplify their work and reach new audiences. Her relationships with top Canadian media run deep and the full-service publicity support RedEye offers feels like an extension of your team. Suzanne was a trusted partner when I led communications for Canadian Stage and Luminato Festival and I can’t recommend her highly enough. – Ashley Ballantyne

I have been working with Suzanne for almost 10 years now, first when I was Managing Director at Crow’s Theatre, where she was a key partner in helping us launch the Streetcar Crowsnest facility and brand it as a must-visit destination in Toronto. We continue to work together at Canadian Stage and she remains a trusted collaborator. Suzanne has constantly impressed me with her passion for the arts sector, her deep commitment to advancing the work of artists, and her unparalleled knowledge of our industry. She is someone I know I can continually count on and a true leader in her field. – Monica Esteves - Executive Director, Canadian Stage

In the midst of the pandemic, when I had started my role at Obsidian, we went way out on a limb with 21 BLACK FUTURES and went from being a theatre company to a screen production company working with the CBC – there were so many firsts I couldn’t count them. Not only did Suzanne handle the media relations on the project with all the passion and intelligence she is known for, with her wide-ranging experience across performing arts and screen mediums, she also helped us navigate the move into the world of working with a broadcaster. The work we do at Obsidian also requires sensitivity and cultural awareness, which Suzanne always brings to the table, along with palpable commitment and care. She is an important ally to our company. – Mumbi Tindyebwa Otu - Artistic Director, Obsidian Theatre
