Courtney Castelino - Page 6

Courtney Castelino

When she was thirteen, a school excursion to see a touring production of The Phantom of the Opera opened her eyes to the world of musical theatre. As soon as the chandelier lit up and rose to the ceiling, she was completely spellbound. That moment sparked a lifelong appreciation for the arts, further enhanced through fine arts and drama training in high school and CEGEP. Courtney also co-teaches a bilingual Teen Theatre Appreciation and Criticism class at the Ottawa School of Theatre. Originally from Montreal, she now lives in the Ottawa, Canada, area and enjoys attending local professional and community theatre shows, and tries to get to New York and Toronto to see shows whenever she can.

Review: Kanata Theatre's HOME, I'M DARLING at the Ron Maslin Playhouse
March 28, 2025

The opening scene of Kanata Theatre’s presentation of Laura Wade’s Home, I’m Darling introduces us to Judy (Katie Torresan), housewife extraordinaire. Judy, decked out in a frock and frilly apron waits patiently in her checker tiled kitchen for her husband Johnny (Phillip Merriman) to come home, so she can make him a cocktail before serving up a homemade dinner. Great Scott! We’ve landed in some sort of 1950s utopian version of British suburbia. Or have we?

NAC English Theatre presents the Stratford Festival’s production of Salesman in China, written by Canadian playwrights, Leanna Brodie and Jovanni Sy for two weeks only at the National Arts Centre. Arthur Miller’s acclaimed play, Death of a Salesman, was written in 1949. The story is about Willy Loman, a travelling salesman from Brooklyn, and his relationship with his two sons. Despite his optimism, Willy is struggling to live the American Dream: a comfortable existence with a steady income, a nice home, with a wife and kids who have been raised to be successful in their own right.
