I am an actor. Since graduating from theatre school almost four years ago, I have also become (in order and to greater or lesser degrees) an acting coach, a director, a stage combat choreographer and teaching assistant, a producer, an adaptor, and finally, a writer. One of the joys of being a young Canadian actor […]
This month’s selections can only be described as tackling the smart and difficult topics left untouched by most of society. Too often, it is easier to ignore our problems and issues rather than facing them. These productions offer the touch discussions, from race to living life without regret to questioning the safety of our youth. […]
The “Coming Soon” feature is the newest addition to the Boston My Theatre Branch to satisfy your theatre cravings during the long summer months. While we have plenty of New England summer stock (which we’ll highlight with vigor and delight), it’s no surprise that Boston theatres virtually shut down for the summer months, focusing on […]

Might love it, might hate it, but I’m confident (having seen it on stage myself) that you’ll be glad you saw it. Maybe you know […]
I tried in vain to find a common theme for these April “Must See” productions. We have fantastical elements and commentaries on sexual politics; epic plays and comedic classics; fringe and university productions. Yes, this month, we truly have something for everyone.
