What did our critic think of WIDE AWAKE HEARTS at The Gladstone? The Gladstone’s 2023-2024 season opened last night with WOW Factory’s presentation of Wide Awake Hearts, directed by Peter James Haworth. Penned by Canadian playwright, Brendan Gall, the show’s tag line states that it is “[a] nightmare. About a Film. About Love.” This sums it up quite accurately.

What did our critic think of TWELVE ANGRY JURORS at Ottawa Little Theatre?

For the aspiring artist in your family, GCTC’s new Summer Stage program is an intensive summer theatre program for youth (ages 6-15). Summer Stage runs as a day camp, 9am to 4pm, Monday through Friday at the theatre (1233 Wellington St. West).

What did our critic think of KYMTC'S PRODUCTION OF MATILDA THE MUSICAL at Urbandale Arts Centre?

Great Canadian Theatre Company's production of Donna-Michelle St. Bernard's The First Stone is unlike any other show I have seen presented at GCTC. Thanks to the creative direction (Yvette Nolan), set (Jackie Chau) and projection design (Cam Davis), the show has a very artistic and fluid feel to it, almost like it could be performed in a museum instead of a theatre.
