“Good Night, Sweet Prince” (Hamlet, Act V, scene ii)
Theatre Museum Canada has not only lost its Honorary Patron, the theatrical world has lost one of its greatest classical actors.
Christopher Plummer cherished his Canadian roots and his generosity of spirit was exemplified by his long time support of TMC.
With profound gratitude Theatre Museum Canada thanks actor Ron Braden for the charitable gift of $548,000 made in his Will. The largest donation ever made to Theatre Museum Canada, it creates The Gertrude Isobelle Braden Fund, named after his mother, and will help the organization preserve Canadian theatre heritage for future generations.
Like theatres and museums across Canada and around the world, our offices are closed for now and staff is working from home.
But it is great to see that more people than ever are now learning from our online resources, especially the Legend Library of interviews with pioneers of Canadian theatre.
