How theatre helps us feel less alone in our personal muck

from Q with Tom Power

In a chaotic world filled with uncertainty and suffering, what’s the point of giddy, toe-tapping musical theatre? Winnipeg's Kimberley Rampersad directs the musical comedy “Anything Goes” at the Shaw Festival this season, and she makes a powerful case for the role of joyful art in hard times. Kimberley joins guest host Gill Deacon to talk about her journey to directing, the importance of theatre’s joyful resistance to the darkness, and how theatre allows us to have conversations with the gloves coming off.
