A piece I’ve written for @macleans about the last few days. For my fellow Ukrainian-Canadians. For Ukraine and Ukrainians. For anyone caring from afar, trying to make sense of senselessness. Thank you @sarah_fulford for inviting me to write my heartache.

Casey & Diana, directed by @ndrwkushnir ('98), received @heritagetoronto's Public History Award. Called a powerful "must-see" it explores lived experiences during the AIDS epidemic in Toronto, highlighting the harsh realities of stigma and misinformation.

Please, please don’t force Ukraine to give up. Please don’t force her to give up her land to appease a dictator. Please. It would be catastrophic, after all these years.

Tomorrow, the 2024 Olympics will start. 140 athletes will represent Ukraine. 487 Ukrainian athletes will never again be able to compete - they died since the start of the full-scale invasion. Over 4,000 more Ukrainian athletes are defending Ukraine today. 📹: Suspilne

Nice to have mainstage at @CDTPS_UofT featured in @uoftmagazine. Dawn King’s script is a real and disquieting ‘call to thought’.
For this year’s mainstage show, #UofT’s fourth-year drama students mounted Dawn King’s *The Trials*, where people are prosecuted for their role in the climate crisis and young people act as the jurors. Have a look: https://t.co/piPNxj6p7N

Big thanks to the critics for recognizing ‘Bad Roads’ at @crowstheatre and ‘Casey and Diana’ at @soulpepper with TTCAs. Grateful for my creative families on these shows. And for the sense of community, solidarity and open-heartedness that both these pieces discovered in Toronto.
Crow’s Theatre and Soulpepper win big at the 2024 Toronto Theatre Critics’ Awards. Returning after a four-year hiatus, the TTCAs featured 19 winners across 14 categories, including a special citation for Daniel MacIvor.

Immensely proud of the team — actors, designers, stage management and the folks at @crowstheatre — who helped realize BAD ROADS. Grateful for this recognition of what Ukrainian playwrights have to tell us about life in wartime. Thank you, @DoraAwards. 🇺🇦✊🏼

For their annual mainstage show, #UofT’s fourth-year drama students draw on all the skills they’ve acquired in the program. This year, they learned how theatre can play a part in social change, too: https://t.co/piPNxj6p7N

"Theater should be what society should become tomorrow", - these are the words of a Ukrainian theatre genius Les #Kurbas. A revolutionary in Ukrainian performing arts at the beginning of the 20th century, Kurbas created an experimental theater of Ukrainian modernism. He could
