For us, it all began just over ten years ago. Back then, Ringplay was just about a twinkle in the founders’ eyes. The Dundas Repertory was still going — it [...]

Track Road Theatre (which goes by the initials TRT these days) is back on its game with this evening of two one-act plays by European writers from the first quarter of the twentieth century.

I got the idea for our Day of Absence from Douglas Turner Ward’s play.

This site’s worth watching.
What’s especially worth watching is the piece that is currently the second one on the page (which doesn’t appear to work the way blogs usually work, so prepare to scroll) – “An open letter to Prime Minister Harper From Wajdi Mouawad, Governor General Award-winning Canadian playwright; Knight of the Ordre National des Arts et [...]

The Children’s Teeth was featured at CARIFESTA X, and toured Guyana, set and all. The experience was invaluable — we performed in spaces we would not have chosen for ourselves, despite the existence of at least two enviable national Guyanese performance spaces, the like of which only our hotels provide in The Bahamas.
