The Skeleton Twins is both incredibly witty, heartbreaking, and one of my favorite films of the Year, so far!   If you asked me over the years which generation of Saturday Night Live performers would have the best careers, I probably would have said the Will Ferrell/Molly Shannon crowd. Through my personal experience I never […]

 

Team Kat Goes on Retreat Playwright/director Kat Sandler’s latest one-act at the Storefront Theatre is a wackier and more wildly comedic entry into her ever-expanding canon of thoughtful, witty work. The story of four interns sent on a camping retreat to compete for a single job at a vague but powerful company, Retreat is a […]

 

The Leftovers ended with “The Prodigal Son Returns” last week and after an hour of more despair and some really horrific and devastating scenes, it looks like Kevin and the gang are starting to heal. Kevin even got along with that dog! Matt helped Kevin get rid of Patti’s body. Kevin then thought Matt was […]

 

A few of the many many many reasons I didn’t like this production: – Geraint Wyn Davies is one of the least vulnerable actors I’ve ever seen. He reminds me so much of Henry Breedlove (his Slings & Arrows character) when all I want is for Macbeth to be played by Oliver Dennis (not literally; […]

We are now approaching the end of what I am tempted to call “Shakespeare Season” in Toronto. In addition to Stratford’s nearby productions (this year King Lear, Antony & Cleopatra, King John, and two excellent Midsummers), Canadian Stage served up Titus Andronicus and As You Like It in High Park, the Fringe Festival played host […]

 

When the Big Brother season starts to wind down, I tend to get bored. Generally, during the last few weeks the competitions are the only exciting part to look forward to. This season however, thankfully due to the best cast ever, has continued to entertain up until the very end. I strongly believe that last […]

 

With only two episodes left before its hiatus,Outlander is stepping things up, raising the stakes, and setting the characters on paths they can’t come back from. (Spoilers ahead) Claire is still stuck in the 18th century. As soon as she starts having an internal monologue about how close she is to getting back to her […]
