Wine in the Wilderness at Canadian Stage is a compelling but uneven examination of misogynoir in 1960s Harlem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wine in the Wilderness, written by Alice Childress in 1969, predates the term “misogynoir” by close to four decades. But the word, coined by Black feminist scholar Moya Bailey in 2008, somewhat haunts Childress’s play, a compelling if not altogether tight examination of race, class and gender set during the Harlem uprising of 1964. We meet Bill (Mazin Elsadig), a painter, in the throes of completing a triptych of Black womanhood. Two of the panels are done – a gleeful little girl, a regal Africa
Heated Rivalry production company launches real-life Irina Foundation to support inclusivity in sports and arts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Toronto-based production company behind Heated Rivalry has announced the launch of Irina Foundation, a new fund dedicated to promoting mental well-being and inclusivity through organized sports and arts programs. The foundation, launched by Accent Aigu Entertainment, will likely sound familiar to fans of Heated Rivalry or author Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series. In the books (and briefly teased in Heated Rivalry’s first season), fictional hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov sta
Hell’s Kitchen at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre is a rarity – a jukebox musical with soul (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hell’s Kitchen has all the trappings of a ho-hum jukebox musical – at least at first. Written around the music and lyrics of Grammy-winning sensation Alicia Keys, and largely inspired by Keys’s own coming-of-age in midtown Manhattan, the show opens on 17-year-old Ali (Maya Drake) in the apartment building she calls home, a vibrant tower that houses a good chunk of New York’s working-class artists. For a while, the stakes seem simple: Ali likes a bucket-drummer named Knuck (JonAvery Worrell). Ali
The Life of a Showgirl was Taylor Swift’s worst album. Its encore is a whole lot sharper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oh, sorry. I must be thinking of another Taylor Swift, the one who said her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl would not receive a deluxe edition or bonus tracks. “This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time,” that other Taylor told us on her now-husband’s podcast a year ago. “There’s not other ones coming,” she said of the possibility of more songs. I know. It’s on me that I took those words at face value, and I’ll admit that was wishful thinking on my part. As a his
Equal parts sexy and strange, Measure for Measure at Crow’s Theatre gets a well-deserved victory lap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Plays-within-plays get a bad rap. Occasionally, that’s justified: Thematic resonances between nested stories, particularly within the canon of William Shakespeare, can feel gratingly obvious. And in the hands of an ineffective director – or the eyes of an overly cynical critic – a metadrama can feel as if it does little more than pad the runtime. I raised an eyebrow, then, when independent theatre company House + Body chose to superimpose a frame narrative around Measure for Measure, one of Shak
