Megan loves being in the thick of all things theatre, but her ultimate goal is to promote theatre to the world of non-theatre people. It was the same when she was the theatre writer for blogTO, or the Fringe Correspondent for CBC Radio One‘s Here and Now, as it is as the founder of Mooney on Theatre. Her basic belief is that there is theatre/performance out there for everyone to love, they just need to find it. This is not to be confused with the idea that everyone should love theatre for theatre’s sake, in fact, as obsessed as she is with theatre, even *she* doesn’t love all types of theatre.

This is the 42nd season of Theatre Passe Muraille. I’ll admit a bias here – I have loved Theatre Passe Muraille ever since I was first introduced to them in university (I lived a wee sheltered theatre life before university). I’ve never worked for them or anything, I just, I don’t know, there’s something there I connected with.
I subsequently have fallen in love with many theatres in Toronto, but Passe Muraille, well, they were my first, and you always have a certain place in your heart for your first, right?
