Dancap Productions announced their new season today. Together with Mirvish Productions, they make up most of the mainstream theatre scene in Toronto. Between the 2 companies, 2011 is already shaking up to be an amazing season. Here’s what’s on tap: Fall 2010, Mirvish:   Rock of Ages (Never seen it, I imagine it’s skippable) Love, Loss […]

If you can’t tell from the title of this post, I’m incredibly excited about the new casting announcements out of the Stratford. The 2011 season is shaping up to be pretty darn great.
