Pacific Theatre to October 6, 2024
I’m so grateful to Pacific Theatre for this Sticks and Stones Theatre guest production of Middletown by Will Eno. Sometimes – with some exceptions – it feels like a drought of exciting, provocative, innovative theatre in this town. Now, finally, here’s something to wrap our heads and hearts around.

Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage to October 20, 2024
My guest was vibrating with excitement throughout Jersey Boys, the Arts Club’s 2024-25 season opener at the Stanley. It was her music, her time, and she knew all the words to all the songs.

Jericho Arts Centre to September 29, 2024
Hands down, Chickens will be the goofiest 2024-25 season opener anywhere in the city. Written by award-winning Canadian actor and playwright Lucia Frangione back when she was a student at Alberta’s Rosebud School of the Arts back in the late 80s or early 90s, Chickens is so ‘country’ you can almost smell the hay and the chicken shit.
