<p class="MsoNormal">The Creation Process of Concord Floral<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Speakers are Erin Brubacher, the Original Dramaturg and Cara Spooner the Original Director of Concord Floral.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is Concord Floral?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Concord Floral is an award-winning play that was created in 2014 by the trio Erin Brubacher (dramaturg), Cara Spooner (director) and Jordan Tannahill (playwright).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is set in Vaughan, Ontario. Suburbia. All the homes look exactly the same … except Concord Floral. Standing in the middle of a field beyond the backyards of the suburbs, Concord Floral is a run-down one-million-square-foot abandoned
greenhouse, where the neighbourhood teenagers come in search of privacy, freedom, and companionship. They hide their secrets there, in a place that could be considered their makeshift home.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Join moderator William Chesney (Associate Dean of Arts) for a conversation with Erin and Cara about the process of creating Concord Floral, a play that blends the past and present, the forgotten and the remembered to tell a contemporary
rendition of a haunting urban myth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please see the attached poster with details about the Speaker Series on November 15<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></p>
