Well, imagine how hard it must have been for director Les Waters (above) to go from the child torture and murder of The Pillowman [...]

Charles Ross, the man behind One-Man Star Wars Trilogy, lives in Victoria, British Columbia, a picturesque hamlet on Canada’s Vancouver Island.
“It’s a nice, little, secret place in a lot of ways,” Ross says on the phone. “And [...]

I did catch up with some Monday morning quarterbacking on the previous night’s episode, and it seems that Jason [...]
Great news for theater dogs who also love some good TV. The Canadian-import series “Slings and Arrows” arrives for a third season on Sunday (Feb. 18) on the Sundance Channel.
If the first two seasons are any indication, season 3 will be a hoot as we return to the New Burbage Theatre Festival (which bears a [...]
