After getting its wings in Dublin, The King of All Birds takes flight at Toronto’s inaugural Bealtaine Theatre Festival

“We are all coming from somewhere, and we all have ancestors, and we all have this profound connection with not just where we come from but who we come from,” says playwright-performer Martha Knight. “That’s really connected me to the piece and connected me with everybody I’ve worked with on this show.”

REVIEW: Guillermo Verdecchia’s Feast is a fascinating text, but Tarragon’s new production feels hazy

I found the play really resonant and rich and layered. It’s about globalization, privilege, travel, displacement, and inequity, and it brought up many associations and past experiences for me. But I don’t feel that Soheil Parsa’s production fully comes together.

REVIEW: VideoCabaret’s Pochsy IV is bizarre, vicious, and hilarious

I can confidently say that you don’t have to have a 30-year-plus background with Karen Hines’ clown character Pochsy to quickly understand her mix of oddball conviction, sly wordplay, and bland narcissism.

REVIEW: Ins Choi debuts impassioned new solo musical at Vancouver’s Pacific Theatre

Faith is the message at Son of a Preacherman’s core. Faith in your beliefs, faith in your passions, faith in your calling, and, most of all — faith in yourself.
