  • Very engaging

    I’ve been a Shaw regular for 10+ years and intend for 2025 to be the third year I’ll see every scheduled show. I love learning more about the actors I’ve enjoyed over the years, and a little more about the creative process. Kelly and Spike are fantastic hosts, and I’m always looking forward to my next Shaw trip and the next podcast episode!

Sleuth: Patrick Galligan & Sepehr Reybod in Conversation
Q: What's a notable Easter egg or hidden moment for audiences to watch for in Sleuth?
There are reveals that are brilliant coup de théâtre, and the real game begins after audiences think it's over, with shifts in who holds the power and control.
Sleuth: Patrick Galligan & Sepehr Reybod in Conversation
Q: What makes the courthouse redesign significant for this season?
The redesign preserves the theater's heritage while enhancing accessibility and sightlines, leveraging Royal George seats to create a space that feels both familiar and renewed for contemporary productions.
