#133 - Amir Haidar

In this week’s episode I sit down with Amir Haidar. Amir Haidar is a Toronto based performer and is currently one of the standbys for the Toronto production of Come From Away. In our conversation today we discuss how he was introduced to theatre growing up in Lebanon, the path that he took with his training and what he learned from his time in school, as well as the importance of self motivation and self awareness in this industry. We also discuss his experiences with pantomime and what he learned from performing in the Stirling Festival Theatre Christmas Panto for four years, his experiences auditioning for and being a part of the Toronto production of Come From Away, as well as where he hopes to see theatre in Canada headed in the future.
