'Le Concierge', on now at @SummerWorksFun until Sat., Aug. 16, is a fascinating site-specific performance that asks the audience to silently follow a janitor through the halls of a French high school while he conducts his nightly cleaning duties. (NNNN) https://t.co/VjIAUhIBKu

[NEXT Magazine @nextmagcanada]

With content advisories promising nudity, sexual themes, and the presence of a dead fish, it’s hard to form any clear expectations before 'Jason' begins - on now until Sat., Aug. 16 as part of @SummerWorksFun. (NNNN) https://t.co/VFcPOL8bvY

[Glenn Sumi @glennsumi]

In my latest newsletter, I review @Soulpepper's OLD TIMES, @OutsidetheMarch's RAINBOW ON MARS and the just-closed @SummerWorksFun.

I also point out a new monthly sketch series @SecondCityTO.

Had the chance to check out some neat shows at @SummerWorksFun this year. Here's my recap of three of 'em: Le Concierge, The Sankofa Trilogy and The Chains.
