Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. With two impressive productions in 2013, playwright Brandon Crone is making a name for himself as a bold new Toronto voice, his company Safeword serving as a safe haven of sorts where productions can push the boundaries […]
You’ve got to check out The Radio Show. If you don’t have any idea what it’s about and walk into the theatre, you’d see the powerful unity of dance and some really tremendous artists moving their bodies in impressive, interesting and gorgeous ways.

One such standout performance came […]
