Newcomer Week: Virtual Edition May 18-22
Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - After the cancellation of Toronto’s annual Newcomer Day celebration, which celebrates newcomers’ contributions to the city and introduces them different city-wide services, the Toronto Arts Foundation and the Neighbourhood Arts Network decided to put together this incredible, virtual week-long celebration of art around the city. You get everything from visual art to music to discussions about creativity and culture, and it looks AMAZING. Everyday from May 18-22, you can experience a different event over Zoom!
These Toronto theatre artists are KILLING it.

GROW - A New Canadian Musical
London/Toronto, CANADA - Folks all over were eagerly anticipating the opening of Grow (Book-Matt Murray; Music-Colleen Dauncey; Lyrics-Akiva Romer Segal) at the Grand Theatre in London, ON. This was a show with BUZZ, having been developed at the prestigious Canadian Music Theatre Project and the Goodspeed Festival of New Musicals, and it sadly had to be postponed. Thats why we were so thrilled when the team made this video for The Social Distancing Festival (video credit- Fred Miller III). Check out The One I Choose, sung by composer Colleen Dauncey.
FOUR SISTERS, a play by Susanna Fournier
From the submission: FOUR SISTERS is a podcast written by Susanna Fournier, a sonic rendering of play that showed last year at the Theatre Centre as part of the Luminato Festival. It's a timely piece, and one just released, by an ascendant feminist voice in Toronto's independent theatre community.
