My kid picked probably the best possible week to arrive -- and, unlike father, was even ahead of deadline. If you were wondering what can make both the RNC and Joe Biden seem suddenly insignificant, parenthood is it.

🙏🏼 More critics engaged in real theatre criticism than I can remember. Look for revamped Toronto Theatre Critics Awards in June.

@AdrianMorrow Isn't the Canadian Dream to not have Trump elected again?

As usual, no one seems to have read, seen or understood the play they are protesting: https://t.co/o3EuHVe8U1

What a troika ride! Chalk up another triumph for @crowstheatre & @MusicalStageCo with their foot-stomping, heart-stirring immersive production of Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812, Dave Malloy's marvelous Tolstoy musical. @CTCAreviews

I liked 42nd Street, but the @Mirvish British import you should really see is Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of). Witty script by @isobel_mcarthur and absolutely hilarious performances by a multi-talented all-female cast. Jane is laughing somewhere up there. #PrideAndPrejudiceSortOf

This is devastating. CBC's journalism is so vital to this country. It is deeply unfortunate that this is politicized.

Caught Part 2 in the excellent MacIvor-Brooks revivals/reworkings @FactoryToronto: Damien Atkins is an idiosyncratic delight in Here Lies Henry (even if his serial fabulist is no match for George Santos). @CTCAreviews

[Martin Morrow @mrrwmart]

I saw the original Daniel MacIvor-Daniel Brooks Monster back in the 90s and watching the terrific revival/update @FactoryToronto was a thrilling case of deja vu. A rivetting Karl Ang channels the young MacIvor and Soheil Parsa's spooky staging does Brooks proud. @CTCAreviews

The Nathan Cohens are seeking submissions for this year's awards. Deadline is Dec. 4.

Ben Carlson, Jordan Pettle and Graeme Somerville are superb as the Lehman bros & their descendants in the epic Lehman Trilogy @canadianstage, even if the play itself is an oddly amoral tale of amoral capitalism. @CTCAreviews
