LEARN MOREREVIEW: Theatre Under the Stars puts a compelling spin on Cats
In the end, Cats left me puzzled, perplexed, and absolutely buzzing. Did I ever learn what Jellicle means? No. Did I have a great time? Absolutely.
At Canadian Stage’s 41st annual Dream in High Park, everyone is Hamlet
“There's something really democratic about outdoor theatre,” says Canadian Stage artistic director Brendan Healy. “Indoor theatre spaces are awesome, but they can sometimes be intimidating and limited. For many people, Dream in High Park is their one trip to the theatre that they do every year. For many young people, it’s their first experience of theatre.”
Speaking in Draft: Theresa Cutknife
“Of course, we all have to make money and make different sacrifices just to pay the bills, because this city is so horribly overpriced,” says Cutknife. “But why? Why do we have to suffer to feel like we’ve paid our dues to the industry?”

Toronto Fringe’s New Young Reviewers 2024 | Round Two
The second round of reviews from the Toronto Fringe's New Young Reviewers program is here!
REVIEW: The Last Timbit is a surprisingly charming commercial gem
The Last Timbit, a show of snow and sweets, had a limited run at the Elgin Theatre in June and is getting a streaming release on Crave on August 12. I, for one, am more than curious to see how a wider audience will react.
This is a powerful, deeply-felt performance about the treacherous but necessary work of tracing personal and political histories.
REVIEW: Filles du Roi is an entertaining, thoughtful reappraisal of French Canadian history
Sébastien Bertrand takes these women out of the symbolic realm, giving them fully formed identities.
REVIEW: Convictions thoughtfully explores myth in the modern world
Lara Arabian and Théâtre français de Toronto have created a provocative, timely new work that intelligently explores the contradictions of immigration, family, and faith
REVIEW: asses.masses is an endurance performance that takes boredom as its subject
By the sixth or seventh hour, I indeed felt like a worker at the factory of cultural production. I began to ask myself if the demands of the job were too high, if the compensation was fair, and if I felt fulfilled or alienated from working for the proverbial man.
REVIEW: Vaches: The Musical at Théâtre Français de Toronto
Vaches: The Musical's irony might occasionally keep its audience at a distance, but as a celebration of Casselman's wacky warmth, the show revels in an infectious, ragtag charm.
