Concord Floral is an award-winning play that was created in 2014 by the trio Erin Brubacher (dramaturg/co-director), Cara Spooner (co-director) and Jordan Tannahill (playwright).

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.
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.
