My experience in the theatre world, working with several small theatres in wardrobe and costuming as well as my three year stint as Costume Designer/Creative Director Patricia Fell's assistant when I lived in Windsor, afforded me the opportunity to work with a Musical Theatre Program at a local College. Since that time, I've had a soft spot for theatre, defending it when people say it's dead and making an effort to see and promote shows and the people behind the shows.
The Summerworks website team were remarkably organized and thorough with their coverage of the events throughout the week, offering several links to appropriate blogs as well posting about all of the events themselves via the Summerworks Blog.

I thought, how very smart of this organization. They had several bloggers on staff, going out seeing all of the shows and promoting them at the same time. Then each of these bloggers posted about the countless events taking place over the course of the festival. This project resulted in a full catalogue of all of the participating Summerworks performances - an extremely helpful guide for any theatre lover who wants to keep an eye out for up in coming talent in Toronto. Well done, Summerworks. Well done.
Finally I wanted to give a little shout out to the Toronto Port Authority for their wickedly successful second year of Sail In Cinema. This wonderful idea involves a gigantic screen a few meters off of Sugar Beach showing nautical themed films on both sides of the screen. The viewers are either sitting in their boats or on the boats provided by the Toronto Port Authority in the water, or they can choose to bring a blanket and sit on the beach. Either way, this FREE event is a great way to bring people together with classic film, and Toronto's beautiful scenery.
Thanks for reading!!
