Celebrity Speakers: Paul Gross

An innovative mathematician who spends much of his time on JUMP (Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigies), a program he developed that contends every child can master math, Mighton is unusual in combining his mathematics career with theatre. Also a celebrated playwright, he is a Governor General’s Award Winner and the recipient of the prestigious Siminovitch Prize for playwriting. From the author of Half Life, Possible Worlds and Body and Soul, our production of The Little Years marks the first mainstage revival of this beautiful play. Directed by one of Toronto’s most innovative directors and featuring an extraordinary cast of some the best actresses from across the country, this is a unique and important production.
