Caryl Churchill's A Number was first produced in 2002 as one of the earliest dramatic examinations of the possibilities and physical and moral consequences of human cloning, redefining what it means to be human and part of a family. As questions of identity, nature, nurture, and responsibility collide, the play turns a startling scientific premise into a gripping and deeply human family drama after the truth about a long-buried cloning experiment comes to light. I spoke with the director/producer James Paradise about what drew him to direct the play, his artistic vision for the production, and why now is the right time to ring it to Los Angeles.

Canadian-born David D’Lancy Wilson is nearly one year into his run as Mufasa in THE LION KING. Next week, Pride Rock comes roaring into Montreal and Wilson is coming home to Canada. I had the opportunity to chat with Wilson about his life, career, and the experience of wearing the mask of one of musical theatre’s most iconic fathers. For Wilson, however, Mufasa is more than a king, warrior, husband and protector. At his core, he says, “he is just a parent trying to do right and best for their child.” As a father of two young boys himself, that perspective carries particular weight. THE LION KING takes the stage at Salle Wilfred-Pelletier, Places des Arts, 175 Rue Sainte-Catherine O, Montréal, QC H2X 1Y9 from August 19 - September 6, 2026.
