With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 186th episode we have a new artist interview. This particular conversation was hosted by our Co-Artistic Producer Mackenzie Horner and features playwright, author, and performer Trudee Romanek, whose latest work, If the Shoe Fits, will soon be debuting at the Simcoe County Theatre Festival presented by Theatre by the Bay. Join these two as they dive into Trudee's other works in her growing theatrical canon and the local connections they share, her writing process for this one man show, and how she goes about translating the lives and stories of everyday local citizens into universal experiences that connect with a broad audience.
