Who's got to a tiny gavel and an inflated sense of self after being asked to take the chair for a few minutes at Canadian Actors' Equity National Council. This guy. #canadiantheatre #canadianactorsequityassociation

What a treat to spend a few days immersed in Ottawa's theatre scene — I cut my teeth as a critic in that city and, judging by this trip, the quality of work has only improved since my last trip east. Here's the work that impressed me most: www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/stag...

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday. His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

Kneecap was never actually banned from Canada and the Liberal MP who announced it has GONE ROGUE?????? What the fuck!!!! This is unhinged!!!!

Poppies

This one-woman show about a real-life all-female gang of thieves is absolutely wonderful, queer & dark & extraordinary. I'd love to see Margo reach the funding goal to do a 10th anniversary remount in at least two cities!
