Conversation Starters
- One of our most challenging ideas that we try to share with prospective actors is about the difficulty of “success” in the business of theatre—and the necessity of coming up with your own definition of success. That thought process is necessary, and so I was heartened to read a post from Allie Dunbar, a past member of Theatre Ontario, in which she is clearly thinking it through
- More help for theatres stepping into the brave new world of podcasting: Playwrights Guild of Canada published an all-radio-play edition of CanRevue (and ICYMI: David J. Loehr from 2amTheatre and Jason Snell from the Incomparable Podcast talked about podcasting for theatres at a panel at the TCG14 Conference)

- I was saddened to hear the news of the sudden passing of Lee Jourard of Belleville on Labour Day. Lee was a longtime member of Belleville Theatre Guild, the Eastern Ontario Drama League, and a regular at our Theatre Ontario Festival - catching up with him (often, it seemed, in the hotel lobby at check-in) was an annual tradition that I will miss. There will be a celebration of his life at a later date.
- The final stops for the Ontario Summer Theatre blogger were visits to Blyth for St. Anne’s Reel at the Blyth Festival, and to Cambridge for Boeing Boeing at Drayton Entertainment’s Dunfield Theatre Cambridge
