Megan loves being in the thick of all things theatre, but her ultimate goal is to promote theatre to the world of non-theatre people. It was the same when she was the theatre writer for blogTO, or the Fringe Correspondent for CBC Radio One‘s Here and Now, as it is as the founder of Mooney on Theatre. Her basic belief is that there is theatre/performance out there for everyone to love, they just need to find it. This is not to be confused with the idea that everyone should love theatre for theatre’s sake, in fact, as obsessed as she is with theatre, even *she* doesn’t love all types of theatre.
Why Not Theatre presents fantastic joy-filled piece A Brimful of Asha at Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre
Why Not Theatre’s A Brimful of Asha, playing at Tarragon Theatre, is a joyful peek into the inner workings of one family. We see conflict, we see frustration, we see pain, but most of all, we see love.
There’s so much this piece could be “about” with so many different themes, and like any piece of art everyone connects in a different way, but what I walked away with was an overwhelming sense of love and laughter.

Singing, dancing, joke-cracking Spank!, parody of Fifty Shades of Gray, takes the stage in Toronto
If you’ve been thinking you want to get tickets to Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody currently being presented by Mirvish, you’ll want to do that quickly. When I went the place was packed, and the audience was loving it. I suspect the shows will be sold out for the whole run.
My show partner Gregg and I agreed it’s a really fun show that has a lot to offer to people who are fans of the book, and people who haven’t read it. I suspect that it would also be fun for people who hated the book.
Alligator Pie is a “delightful musical journey through the works of a Canadian literature icon” at Toronto’s Soulpepper.
You know when you love something so much you have no idea how to talk about it? That happened to me with Soulpepper’s Alligator Pie. I just want to make my review “Alligator Pie is fantastic, go see it!”
