| Description |
John Steven Hirsch (1930-1989) - Born in Siofok, Hungary, he immigrated to Canada in 1947 and attended the University of Manitoba. He began his career with a puppet theatre, but in 1957 he and Tom Hendry founded Theatre 77, which in 1958 was combined with the Manitoba Little Theatre to produce the Manitoba Theatre Centre. Hirsch became its first artistic director. The MTC served as the model for regional theatre in Canada. Hirsch co-directed the Stratford Festival from 1967 to 1969 and was head of television drama at the CBC from 1976 to 1979. In 1980 he became artistic director at Stratford, Ontario. He often directed abroad, and he won several important awards. He was given the Manitoba Golden Boy Award in 1960 and the University of Manitoba gave him an honorary doctorate in 1966. He died in Toronto of a complication resulting from AIDS. In 1993, he was inducted posthumously into the Winnipeg Citizens Hall of Fame. He is commemorated by John Hirsch Place in Winnipeg. Ontario artist Ruth Abernethy’s “Imagine” was commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre. Unveiled in November 2008, it features John Hirsch (standing), founding Artistic Director, and Tom Hendry (seated), its first Business Manager. |
