Review: UNSUNG: THE ACCIDENTAL VILLAINS OF HISTORY at Toronto Fringe
Unsung: The Accidental Villains of History, welcoming audiences at Theatre Passe Muraille from June 30-July 11, is a charming and entertaining musical with stellar vocals, but lacks essential context for those not well-versed in world history.

Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY at CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre

Opera Atelier’s 2025-2026 production of Claude Debussy’s Pelléas and Mélisande is a departure from the company’s production modus operandi that will leave a lasting impression on audiences and signal a new era of innovation for Opera Atelier.
