We are pleased to welcome Rebecca Ballarin as Interim Program Coordinator through to the end of August 2015. Rebecca is very excited to return to Theatre Ontario in this role and is replacing Erin Keating who is moving on to pursue other opportunities.
Conversation Starters
- Melissa Hillman points out how indie theatre is ignored and undervalued and how that feeds into “lies we tell about audience engagement”
