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.

The Particulars by Matthew Mackenzie
Called a “revelation” by Pat Donnely of the Montreal Gazette, and a “sleeper hit” by Liz Nichols of the Edmonton Journal, The Particulars is the story of one insomniac’s struggle to maintain a daily routine born of emotional denial in the face of a home invasion. By day, Gordon forges systematically ahead, assiduously in control of every aspect of his life. But by night, the scratching which he has begun to hear in his wall’s is unravelling him, driving Gordon to the edge of cosmic desperation. The Particulars is about a man who has gone on with the routine of his day-to-day, without his reason for living.
The stage musical The Harder They Come is written by Perry Henzell and is based on his famous film that took the world by storm back in the 1970s. A screening of this movie is taking place this Saturday.
