BWW Review: TRIBES at the Segal Centre
BWW Review: Tribes at the Segal Centre The Segal Centre's production of Tribes is an astonishing breath of fresh air. It's razor sharp, funny, edgy, foul-mouthed and hilarious. And it stars a deaf actor in the lead role of Billy.

BWW Reviews: TRAVESTIES is Wildly Funny
Tom Stoppard is the kind of playwright who is so clever that it almost feels like he's showing off. Travesties is one such example of Stoppard's brilliance, as he seamlessly combines past and present, reality and fiction in an inventive and Wildean play that, believe it or not, was inspired by real events.
Segal Centre to Present TRAVESTIES, 4/12-5/3
Acclaimed Montreal filmmaker Jacob Tierney (The Trotsky, Good Neighbours) will direct Tom Stoppard's Tony Award-winning historical comedy Travesties in a new Segal Centre production from April 12 - May 3, 2015.

BWW Reviews: THE SEAGULL, Old-School Theatre for the Modern World
Toronto gets one more blast of snow as I settle in at Berkeley Street Theatre Upstairs to watch blustery Chekhov characters spend a summer holiday in the Russian countryside. A group of actors called The Chekhov Collective formed a year ago and began developing this production of The Seagull using the methods of Michael Chekhov, nephew of Anton Chekhov. The Seagull, which is heavy on theme and light on levity, is a self-referential play wherein Chekhov's characters examine what makes good theatre, good art, and good life.
