globeandmail.com: "Toronto theatre impresario Jeffrey Latimer is nothing if not resourceful.
He mounted his first production at the Toronto Fringe Festival almost 15 years ago -- a play about sexual abuse in the church. As it happened, the actors were performing in the annex to a church.
For the second show, on a Sunday morning, there were five patrons. Thinking quickly, Latimer drew a sign and posted it on the theatre door: Sold Out."
"The creativity behind shows like this is what keeps theatre alive," he says. "It builds new audiences and reminds theatregoers of all ages how truly wonderful it is to see a live stage performance."
ReplyDeleteThis reminds of CMU's mantra. It's refeshing to see that professional theatre-goers who have already estbalished themselves aren't afraid to take risks and produce the types of shows that are needed to change the theatrical landscape, one country at a time and we will be looking at a theatre-going revolution.
