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. (North American Eastern time) from 17 September to 10 December 1970.
