When an actor leaves a long-running TV series before its natural conclusion, it’s generally not a good thing. Sure, there are some series so long-lived that turnover is not only inevitable but necessary (while it’s key that Grey’s Anatomy has held on to McDreamy, where would we be if George never left and Jackson never […]
Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. Astrid van Wieren was everywhere in 2013 (and 2014, we saw her at Theatre Passe Muraille just last week!) and she’s always one of the best things about the productions she’s in. One such standout performance […]
I suppose my first question is this: do you guys think it’s weird for a straight girl to tune into Looking entirely because Jonathan Groff is just about the cutest thing ever to happen? Good, neither do I. I mean, it’s a little strange, perhaps, since the most recent episode featured him stripping off some […]
I’m too young for this. The Garry Marshall property I grew up with was Runaway Bride (and, later, The Princess Diaries) so you’ll excuse me if I have no idea who Joanie and Chachi are.

Hannah Moscovitch’s Best New Work-nominated play This Is War takes on subject matter that few plays do. A rare portrait of Canadian troupes in Afghanistan, This is War highlights some grim realities not just for soldiers in […]
Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. Matthew Gorman’s production of Twelfth Night at Hart House was one of our favourite Shakespeare productions of the year. He took a hopelessly over-produced text and made it interesting again by taking it seriously […]
Before we announce the winners of the 2013 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. One of our Best Actor nominees in Toronto’s Regional Category, Alex McCooeye was a refreshing, funny and terrifying Richard III. The success of Shakespeare in the Ruff’s 2013 production in Withrow Park rested squarely […]
