Canadian theatre, and the theatre industry in general, are changing. And if you are an artist or an audience member you need to keep track of those changes. Nowhere is there a better theatre podcast the Stageworthy. Phil is an artist but he’s also a really great interviewer and host. Listen to this! It’s just fantastic.

Interesting discussions with interesting people about the ways in which they - we - tell stories. Theatre is storytelling, and the stories about how we make theatre, what stories we tell and how and why, can be fascinating in themselves.
