- The Toronto Fringe Festival is having an Open House on Wednesday, November 7 for the Creation Lab—if you’re a creator and you don’t know about this space, this is a terrific opportunity to find out more. Affordable hubs are hard to find.
- As reported in the Toronto Star: “Nobody wants to buy North York’s Toronto Centre for the Arts or the downtown St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, but the Sony Centre might be feasible.”
- The Stratford Shakespeare Festival announced that they were re-branding back to Stratford Festival; Howard Sherman writes about the challenges of marketing and branding Shakespeare.
- Nancy Webster, currently Managing Director of English Theatre at the National Arts Centre is returning to Young People’s Theatre in the role of Executive Director (PDF).
- Kate Ann Vandermeer is the new General Manager of Cahoots Theatre Company.
- Congratulations to all of the recipients of the inaugural Tom Hendry Awards from Playwrights Guild of Canada—with a special tip of the hat to Michael Grant, winner of the New Comedy Award, and one of the playwrights published in our anthology Grassroots: Original Plays from Ontario Community Theatres; and to Norm Foster who was awarded a lifetime membership.
- PGC was also gracious enough to allow us to present the 2012 Maggie Bassett Award at the occasion—and Dave Carley’s acceptance speech can be seen on their YouTube channel.
