		<description><![CDATA[By Megan Mooney Should Toronto theatres be producing edgier content given current economic realities? The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has a great article by Sally Kalson about taking risks in the arts during challenging economic times. Here&#8217;s an excerpt, a quote from Michael Kaiser (president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in [...]]]></description>

I saw Theory by Norman Yeung, a wonderful staged reading, on Saturday as part of The New Ideas Festival at Alumnae Theatre.  I didn&#8217;t go planning to review it but it was so terrific that I decided to write about it &#8211; and about staged readings.

		<description><![CDATA[By Megan Mooney I think that the best way to be introduced to theatre is through a subscription series.&#160; It sounds intimidating, I mean, that’s a big commitment, right? But there are lots of benefits.&#160; The first is that the best way to appreciate theatre is to see lots of it.&#160; If you don’t like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Megan Mooney So, a lot of you have come here because of Fringe, which means you may not know the background and philosophy.&#160; And, this is actually kind of a weird time to bring it up, except that I will soon be posting a ‘2nd Opinion Review’ and I figure it might help to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Megan Mooney This is a re-post of an article I wrote after the 2008 Fringe, but it seemed worth repeating, *before* Fringe this time.  I’ve done some editing and additions in this version, but it is still based on the post from last year. After going to many many many Fringe shows at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Megan Mooney So, by now you&#8217;ve likely all heard about the SNAFU on Q yesterday with Billy Bob Thornton. Albert Schultz had to follow Billy Bob, which was both good and bad.  Good because he was the perfect person to provide a bit of comic relief afterwards, providing the knife needed to cut the [...]]]></description>
