Title: Design on a Dime with Emily Dix
When: Wednesday, June 19, 5:30 – 8 pm.
Where: Hart House Theatre Lobby, 7 Hart House Circle
Looking to stretch your design budget for Fringe or independent productions? We can help with that.
Design on a Dime will explore how to create prop and set items for productions with a limited budget. Bygone Theatre’s Emily Dix will share general props tips and tricks to create the right aesthetic for your production as well as share her expertise on vintage design. Do you wonder how you take design sketches and visual references and turn those items into reality? This session will include examples from previous Bygone Theatre shows and a hands-on opportunity for all participants to build an item from scratch! (Supplies will be provided).
Registration will be open for only U of T students till May 30. After that date, registration will be open to all. There is no cost for this workshop. Register here.

Bygone Theatre was founded as a collective in October of 2012, and became an incorporated not-for-profit company in October of 2015. Our mandate is to produce theatre written or set in the early 20th century, focusing on historical aspects in design and incorporating a classic cinema aesthetic.
In 2019 Bygone Theatre was nominated for 14 Broadway World Toronto Awards, including Best Community Theatre and Best Play (Equity). We took home a total of 5 awards, 4 of which were for The Rear Window, including Best Direction of a Play (Equity); Best Original Lighting Design; Best Leading Actor (Play, Equity); and Best Featured Actress (Play, Equity). We took a hiatus our 2020/21 season because of the COVID19 pandemic, and used that time to develop our charitable initiatives. In August of 2021 we were nominated for the Toronto Star Readers' Choice Award for Best Live Theatre.
Part of our mission involves inclusion and accessibility, and we strive to allow artists of all backgrounds and levels of experience the chance to have hands-on experience in whatever capacity they are most interested in; this has included youth outreach programs for high school students interested in production design, and acting opportunities for those who have never performed onstage.
