Acting Students Present Free Performances of “Said and Meant”

This spring’s stage production by Toronto Film School, Said and Meant, is a fast-paced, witty compilation of 10 short plays exploring how we use the same language to mean all kinds of different things, and the dangers therein.

TFS-TheatrePoster_template_SaidMeantWhether it’s a farce dressed up as a Greek tragedy, a soon-to-be wed couple seeking counsel-free counseling, a hapless suitor named Bob who’s learning how complex a simple phrase can be, or four actors desperately trying to fit 32 awkward silences into ten minutes, this play has all sorts of hilarious surprises in store.

The production features 12 Toronto Film School students who are in their fifth term of the Acting for Film, TV and Theatre Diploma program. Said and Meant is directed by Mark Ingram, an instructor at Toronto Film School and a seasoned director.

Since 1983 Ingram has been involved in all aspects of putting on a play, working as a director, actor, fight choreographer, vocal coach, producer, stage manager, production stage manager, lighting & sound designer/technician, stage hand and carpenter.

Ingram has been a company member of Shakespeare & Co. in Lenox, MA, the Associate Director of Artists for a Physical Theatre, a company he formed with his mentor Tony Simotes and the founding Artistic/Managing Director of the Rogue And Peasant Theatre Company.

He is an active and in-demand fight director, actor, director and voice coach both in Canada and the United States.

There are three opportunities to catch the Said and Meant: June 19 at 8 p.m. and June 20 at 3 p.m. and again at 8 p.m., at the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse79 Saint George Street, Toronto.

Tickets are free, but must be reserved by clicking here.
