The Doras honour excellence in the performing arts in Toronto. This year’s awards ceremony will once again be hosted by Matt Baram and Naomi Snieckus, founding Co-Artistic Directors of the three-time Canadian Comedy Award-winning The National Theatre of the World. For the first time, the awards will be taking place outside, at Harbourfront Centre, on June 23rd.
Kudos to all of the nominees! Here’s the full list of nominees (with links to our reviews of each production):
There’s a lot of great theatre going on in Toronto for the week of June 2nd, 2014. ** Shows marked with the double asterisks and in red are the ones that make Wayne, our Managing Editor, wish there were more hours in a day so he could check all of them out.
I doubt it’s news to anybody that there’s a ton of condos being built all over town. That’s why I was so happy to hear that Crow’s Theatre was bucking the condo trend by creating a new space in Leslieville, slated to open in 2016. As a hello to the neighbourhood, they’re running a theatre festival called the East End Performance Crawl.
It’s a series of shows taking place in found spaces (that is, not inside theatres) while they’re waiting for their new home to open. They’ve got a lot of cool shows participating in the festival. Some of them are listed below, but there’s a lot more on their website. Some shows are free, some are only $15 – they even have a 5 shows for $50 offer! So come out to support the East End Performance Crawl, and see some Cheap Theatre!
There’s a lot of great theatre going on in Toronto for the week of May 26th, 2014. ** Shows marked with the double asterisks and in red are the ones that make Megan, our Founding Editor, wish there were more hours in a day so she could check all of them out.
You know what’s awesome? When you’re out shopping, and you find a whole bunch of nice stuff that you really want to buy. You know what’s even better? When all that stuff turns out to be super cheap! And that’s exactly how I feel about this week’s Cheap Theatre list! I’d be happy to shell out a fair bit to see any of these shows and festivals (a Shakespeare/Star Wars mashup? A show about Rob Ford? I’m totally in). But the best part is, they’re all extremely affordable. Take a gander, see if anything strikes your fancy, and go see some cheap Toronto theatre!
