The CRRS (Centre for Renaissance and Reformation Studies) at Victoria University in the University of Toronto is a research and teaching centre with a library devoted to the study of the period from approximately 1350 to 1700. It supervises an undergraduate program in Renaissance Studies, organizes lectures and seminars, and maintains an active series of publications, encouraging contact with professors and graduate students through a yearly series of workshops, distinguished visiting speakers, and international conferences.

PLS is a Canadian non-profit company that sponsors performance-led scholarship into early plays, from the beginnings of medieval drama to as late as the middle of the seventeenth century. For sixty years, PLS has been associated with the University of Toronto’s Centre for Medieval Studies (CMS), and currently operates as an affiliate of the Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies. We offer a regular schedule of plays every year, sometimes touring across North America and Europe.

York Plays 2025 was the proud recipient of a Centennial Grant from the Medieval Academy of America.

We also received generous support from the Department of English and Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto.
