Ontario Off Stage
Highlights from April:
- Wikitheatre: While it is often (and sometimes deservedly) mocked for its accuracy and easy vandalism, Wikipedia is still the primary way lay people gather information about a topic, including theatre - so what does Wikipedia actually say about what we do?
- "Emerging" artist: Do you find it a useful descriptor?
- How is Canadian theatre exploring the war in Afghanistan
- Migrations at Festival Players of Prince Edward County
