Harlem Duet

Bard on the Beach until July 17, 2022
I loved Harlem Duet. The script is honest and sad, sometimes funny and often poetic. It’s deeply political as well as deeply personal.

At Waterfront Theatre until July 1, 2022
Directed by Shelby Bushell for Ensemble Theatre Company as part of ETC’s two-play festival, strong performances and an interesting idea make Marjorie Prime worth a visit – especially if, like Marjorie, you’re keeping up with and curious about where technology is taking us.

Vietgone

Jericho Arts Centre until June 26, 2022
Directed by Keltie Forsyth and Louisa Phung for United Players, this is a tight, talented cast, perfectly equipped to handle the rapping and singing, the comedy and the drama. It’s a personal best for Chris Lam, as Quang, in a role in which he can really spread his wings.
