I'm turning this account into a Toronto Theatre Reddit snooping page. I'm obsessed with it. I love the fights. I love guessing who people are!
Please DM me with your guesses at to the identities of the posters so I know who I'm down and upvoting!

Really impressed with Oleanna two nights ago and the nuance Anthony Goncharov found in his precise direction. Closes this weekend (and don't let Mamet stop you from going. The work is really good).
It's tough to break into the Toronto theatre scene. Two indie companies have tried recently, with striking productions of OLEANNA and PIGEON!

Tonight's silent disco range, I've heard, will cover both Old Flame Brewing and The Young Centre, so dancers will have multiple rooms in which to get their groove on. #FringeTO

15 @toronto-fringe.bsky.social shows in and faves are Zeitgeist, Potato, Potato and Iris (though this is ENTIRELY based on what was pulled today. If you see Iris, I really encourage you to pick the ring box, because you get something special and magical, ESPECIALLY if it's the 11 o'clock number).

Sold out @toronto-fringe.bsky.social show got out of Michael Young Theatre @ 11:15pm tonight. Young Centre bar was closed. Patio must close @ 11pm, fine. But why forego $1000s in drink sales inside? Crowd stayed until forced out @ 12am. Does Soulpepper even WANT the #FringeTO community there??

It’s one of Shakespeare’s so-called ‘problem plays,’ but in the hands of the Stratford Festival, it’s a must-see production.

Director Antoni Cimolino’s “The Winter’s Tale” places complete trust in the material and in the skill of its cast. The result is astounding.

Anne of Green Gables at the Stratford Festival: Holy hell. You simply must see it. (Did I ugly-cry while writing about Sarah Dodd and Tim Campbell’s performances? Don’t worry about it.)

Review: Kat Sandler’s fresh take on Anne of Green Gables is a standout at the Stratford Festival
The script, which is some of Sandler’s best writing in recent years, welcomes children and adults alike into its care from the very first line

Loved this episode of TLOU2. I think interplay between Ellie and Dina doesn't feel as satisfying as Joel and Ellie because they're so similar and the relationship has kind of come out of nowhere for us as viewers (yes we know they have history but we're not privy to it). Joel's relationship with...

Ellie killing Norma didn't feel as impactful as it does in the game (you literally do button prompts as you beat Nora to death), but intersplicing the astronaut flashback right after felt like it was a justified choice. The show still feels a little overwritten, but loved that ending button.

Catherine O'Hara's scenes in TLOU2 feel like deleted scenes that ruin how quietly powerful subtext and silence can be. The presence of a therapist for the characters also feels like the writers don't trust their audience

Because X is the bad place, my last of us part 2 thoughts will go here. Obvs spoilers.
I LOVE TLOU 2. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I love how horrible it is, how it never gives it's heroes what they want, how every act of violence is driven by an incredible love for those killed by another.
