Before we announce the winners of our 2024 Critics’ Pick Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series.

I saw 40 plays at the 2024 Toronto Fringe Festival and my very favourite was a deeply strange clown two-hander about Albertan rats. Creative, heartfelt, and executed brilliantly, Rat Academy is a perfect example of why it’s important to take risks at the theatre, or at least at the Fringe. Nominated for Outstanding Production and Outstanding Performance, creator/star Dayna Lea Hoffmann joined the Nominee Interview Series to discuss the show, her craft, and talking with those crazy prosthetic teeth.
