Director Andrew Shaver, Artistic Director of SideMart Theatrical Grocery (Haunted Hillbilly, Scientific Americans, Trad, Gordon) once again brings his award-winning theatre company's trademark vitality and humour to this new Segal Centre production.

The result? A fresh take on a 20th century classic. Join the creative trio in an intimate discussion on the theatrical and musical legacy of The Graduate, 50 years later!
