7 Days In Ontario Theatre

From The Wire
  • It was sad to hear the news of the passing of Jake Mackan of Gore Bay – many of our Festival regulars will remember Jake’s award-winning performance in 2007 in Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun
  • Two of the playwrights in Grassroots – the anthology of plays that premiered at Ontario community theatres – were profiled in their local media (and are available online): meet Kristin Shepherd of North Bay and Michael Fay of Minden
  • Postal strike contingency announcements from the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts
Highlights From The Bulletin Board
  • On Sunday, June 5, Puppetmongers Theatre is holding “Fresh Ideas In Puppetry”, a one-day “conference, festival and good time”
  • The Toronto Public Library (TPL), the Neighbourhood Arts Network and Culture Days are pleased to announce an exciting partnership called Culture Days @ The Library to help artists and arts organizations to share their creative work with the public. The Toronto Public Library is offering free venues to Toronto-based artists and arts organizations wishing to be part of Culture Days.  Application deadline is June 10.
