Soulpepper's newest production, Waiting for the Parade, opened on May 5th to rave reviews. John Murrel's Canadian play about the lives and loves of five Canadian women on the home front during WWII has had many successful incarnations over the years, and the latest exploration from Soulpepper is proving to be no exception. Krystin Pellerin (of The Republic of Doyle) is one of the five women featured in the production, and she sat down to talk with BWW about her return to the stage and her role in the Soulpepper family.

Albert Schultz, Founding Artistic Director of Soulpepper Theatre Company, today announced that the company's production of Waiting for the Parade will run May 1 - May 29, 2010, at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts.

For its 2009 season, The Shaw takes on a monumental and historic project with full productions of each play in Noel Coward?s famous Tonight at 8:30 collection. The Shaw?s 2009 productions represent the first time all ten short plays have been performed in repertory by a professional company since they were first produced by London?s Phoenix Theatre in 1935-36. The plays will be performed in sets of three, one on each of the Festival?s Niagara-on-the-Lake stages, with the tenth, the rarely produced Star Chamber, being the lunchtime production in the Royal George. And to celebrate this idea for the event that it is, on two separate occasions, we will present all ten in one day ? an event we are appropriately naming ?Mad Dogs and Englishmen?.
