Every Pride Month, we talk about visibility. But what happens when queer artists are pressured to make their work safer, softer and more marketable? ted witzel of @buddiesTO says now is the time to do the opposite. #Queer #Toronto #LGBTQ nowtoronto.com/culture/ted-w…

Caught opening night of Makram Ayache's gorgeous play THE GREEN LINE last night. I've heard it's selling out, and for good reason – some remarkable writing and atmosphere on display here. Here's my @GlobeArts profile of Makram: theglobeandmail.com/arts/the…

Toronto theatregoers: I have your fall equivalent of "Barbenheimer." It's called "Roberto ZucCome From Away." Go see the dark and gritty "Roberto Zucco" (@buddiesTO) then be uplifted by "Come From Away." Both are absolutely brilliant, not-to-be-missed productions. #theaTO

#Review: "I’ve seen ‘Come From Away’ five times, but I’ve never been as moved as I was during Mirvish’s new production," writes @joshualdwchong. Read the full 4-star review here: trib.al/lOE1w5L

David Hein and Irene Sankoff’s joyous, life-affirming musical has seemingly captured lightning in a bottle at the Royal Alexandra Theatre.

The Monster of Mestre. The Full Moon Assassin. The Killer with the Eyes of Ice. 🗡️ Who was the real Roberto Succo? Opening the 2024-2025 season and directed by @buddiesto own Artistic Director ted witzel, this play promises to be breathlessly violent, with a pitch-black wit.

Shedding a Skin April 22 – May 4, 2025 at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre On the 15th floor of a London tower block, a revolution takes place. Myah has ejected herself from a corporate hellscape only to crash-land in the spare room of an elder named Mildred—an evasive auntie with laminated house rules and hidden wounds. But healing takes many shapes, and sometimes it looks like sneaking your roommate’s duckanoo. Written by Amanda Wilkin and directed by Cherissa Richards, Shedding a Skin is a one-woman buddy comedy for the heartbroken—a series of exquisitely observed, quietly radical scenes that offers a hand to those feeling the weight of the world. Drop your baggage at the door. Connection is resistance.
