CanStage's 2008-2009 season – which will include productions of Frost/Nixon and Wild Dogs – will be Bragg's 17th with the company. His current contract with the Toronto-based theatre company expires in June, 2009.
“I have informed the board of directors that I will not be seeking a renewal,” Bragg said.
Early this year, CanStage found itself at the centre of controversy when its artistic director of seven months, David Storch, resigned. Firings and financial issues followed.
In the wake of the controversy, several Canadian playwrights launched a letter-writing campaign calling for a review of Bragg's tenure.
