Heads up for the week of Nov. 18-24, 2021.

On Line

Talk is Free Theatre’s series, In Good Company continues with “From the Booth”

Stories from stage managers of the goings on backstage while they try to establish order for a smooth performance. Of all the jobs in the theatre the Stage Manager is the second most mysterious and confusing. This conversation will solve the confusion, I have no doubt. 

(The first most mysterious job of course is the Theatre Critic….I must confess I don’t think many people have a clue what that job involves, but I digress.)

 New Talk Show starts on Monday!

Continuing: From the National Arts Centre on-line.
