This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing by Finegan Kruckemeyer made its Canadian debut at SJR in May. This contemporary fairy tale encouraged collaboration between student artists, resulting in a unique show full of both funny and poignant moments.

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

& last week, when I wrote him to say his ears must be burning from the countless Sondheim kindnesses being shared from the generations of writers he mentored, he wrote this in reply.
Steve: you repaid your debt to Oscar 1000 times over. We love you. I love you. THANK YOU. -LMM

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

Future historians: Stephen Sondheim was real. Yes, he wrote Tony & Maria AND Sweeney Todd AND Bobby AND George & Dot AND Fosca AND countless more. Some may theorize Shakespeare's works were by committee but Steve was real & he was here & he laughed SO loud at shows & we loved him

[Amanda Alexander @dramaticamanda]

"An intellectually rigorous artist who perpetually sought new creative paths, Mr. Sondheim was the theater’s most revered and influential composer-lyricist of the last half of the 20th century, if not its most popular."
Thank you, Stephen Sondheim.

[NYT Theater @nytimestheater]

Stephen Sondheim, the revered and influential composer-lyricist behind some of Broadway’s most beloved and celebrated shows, has died at 91. https://t.co/8lSmZrbQEh

Happy Halloween from the Scooby-doo gang!

[Stratford Festival @stratfest]

Martha Henry joined the Festival in 1962, playing Miranda to William Hutt’s Prospero in The Tempest. Nearly 60 years later, in her 44th season, she took on the role of Prospero. The first Shakespeare production at the Tom Patterson Theatre will be dedicated to her memory ❤️

[National Theatre @NationalTheatre]

Theatre can show us who we are, who we were and who we could be.
It means imagining bigger, understanding better, feeling together.

Happy #WorldTheatreDay 🎉

Tech rehearsals have started for this year's Student-Directed Plays @SJR_School. There is a mix of creativity, collaboration and problem-solving in action as students prepare their shows for an audience.

[Amanda Alexander @dramaticamanda]

An assortment of Middle School students @SJR_School presented product and process work at Tuesday's Arts Evening. It was inspiring to see passionate students share their pieces and take creative risks in front of a supportive community!
