Theatre Canada


Theatre Canada, subtitled Canadian Short Stories, is a Canadian dramatic television series which aired on CBC Television in 1970.

Premise

This series adapted various Canadian fictional works for broadcast.
CBC management originally intended to combine this series with the experimental production Program X to form a common Theatre Canada series despite the radically different concepts of each production. However, the Dominion Drama Festival intended to rename itself Theatre Canada and objected to CBC's plan. Theatre Canada was subtitled Canadian Short Stories. This series aired Thursday evenings until December 1971 when its time slot began carrying Program X.

Scheduling

This half-hour series was broadcast on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. from 17 September to 10 December 1970.
