"Today, actors and theatre companies have difficulties finding public theatres, stages, and spectators..."
Well, with crisis comes opportunity; what better time than now to make all of our voices heard, to make all of our hearts speak loud and true?
"...how far more penetrating to the soul is what the eyes can see and the ears can hear, than the words they read in a book."

Meanwhile, in Canada, here's what's gracing Toronto stages this week:
WorkHouse theatre's brand new play Gwen Powers by the supremely talented Michael Goldlist;
This, by Melissa James Gibson is on at Canadian Stage's Berkeley Street Theatre;
Theatre Smith-Gilmour brings Faulkner's As I Lay Dying to life at the Passe Muraille;
Lauren Yee's Ching Chong Chinaman is FuGen theatre's latest production at the Aki Studio Theatre.
Hope to see you all there, a happy and fortuitous World Theatre Day to you all,
– The Empty Room
