Review: A sparkling young cast buoys slick 'Spring Awakening'
If knowledge is the best defence, the adults in 'Spring Awakening' hand their children suits of armour perforated with thousands of holes.

Really lovely surprise this month: I won both the Outstanding Review and Outstanding Critical Essay categories (plus runner-up for review! what!) for the Nathan Cohen Awards this year.

Very, very grateful to my editors @heypereira.bsky.social and Rebecca Tucker at @theglobeandmail.com.

There's been overnight break-ins 2 nights in a row @ Alumnae Theatre. Venue & #FringeTO companies performing there have had 1000's of $ worth of equipment stolen. I hear an assistance fund is planned (through @fringe-toronto.bsky.social ?), but in the meantime, buy ALL their merch. #TheaTO #ComedyTO

First Fringe show to catch me off guard and make me sob from the back row ✅

I’ll be the first to admit that new musical theatre can be hit and miss, particularly in a Fringe setting. But Iris (says goodbye)… wow. Snag a ticket if you can.

The cast of the Canadian premiere of “A Strange Loop” has just been announced. Many familiar faces, and some new ones too.

Loved the show on Broadway and looking forward to it at Soulpepper. #theaTO

UPDATE: Tonight's show has been cancelled. Thank you to Canadian Stage for making a responsible decision for the actors and audience. #theatre #theaTO

I'm worried for the actors and for all of us. This can't be good for anyone. #theatre #theaTO

The air quality in Toronto is awful. Enough so, in fact, that Canadian Stage cancelled Dream in High Park's final preview last night.

So it's a little puzzling that the company has chosen to move forward with opening tonight, when the air quality is several times worse today than yesterday.

Speaking in Draft: Veronica Hortigüela and Annie Luján

“Toronto needs to take comedies more seriously,” says Luján. “Comedy is not making people laugh every few minutes. In my mind, if people aren’t peeing their pants, we didn’t work hard enough.”

Here's a thought. "Adolescence" (Netflix) is earning praise for its real-time one-take shots. Now, experience live "one-takes" at the theater. Theatre actors do it every day, twice on Wednesdays & Saturdays for 2-4 weeks (sometimes longer).
