Keystone Theatre is an ensemble company which is developing a play in the style of the classic silent film comedies of Keystone Films, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, etc. using all new material inspired by the stories of the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

This new work is being created through a series of workshops designed to develop a new set of skills for the actors and a new performance style for the company.

The idea for the project grew out of a discussion about just how rare it is to see physical comedy respected in the local theatre scene, and just how difficult it is to explore that work because of it. We decided to develop a play in the style of a silent film because of its history and popularity, and because it created a perfect opportunity to bring high quality slapstick comedy to the modern stage.

Keystone Theatre is an Equity Approved Co-op.
