I saw 90 movies in 2013 (or shortly thereafter, if we’re being honest- I don’t know how anyone is expected to see all the Christmas releases in one week!). 90 is a lot of movies, or at least it is for me (I head up My Theatre and My TV, My Cinema is Rachael’s problem). […]

Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series.   In my never-ceasing quest for an emotional connection to opera as a medium, Canadian soprano Ileana Montalbetti was a great help in 2013. Her performance as Ellen Orford in the Canadian Opera Company’s production of the […]

Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series.   Nominated in last year’s awards for her outstanding performance in My Name is Rachel Corrie, this is Amelia Sargisson’s second time in the Nominee Interview Series.

Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series.   One of the most dynamic roles in all of musical theatre, it’s very hard to deliver a performance as Rent‘s performance artist/activist Maureen that stands out beyond what’s expected from the much-talked-about character.

For us, one […]

 

Key & Peele on Comedy Central is a best-of-all-worlds take on your standard sketch show. It’s like SNL with higher production standards and no boring musical guest, or MADtv if every sketch featured your favourite cast members and only your favourite cast members (because Key and Peele were obviously your favourite MADtv cast members, right?).

Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series.   Andrew Leeds tortured my friend Tessa. Not literally- he’s actually a perfectly nice fellow it seems- but when Christopher Pelant (the hacker-genius/psychopathic game-player/serial killer who bears his face), *spoiler alert* forced Booth to reject Brennan’s marriage proposal, Tessa […]
