Truth or Dare Play Toronto
Lindsay Mullan and Jamie Northan brought their improve show “Truth or Dare” to Toronto. Having performed at once very popular Bad Dog Theatre on Oct. 1 and Oct. 3, Mullan and Northan did the easiest (one might think) thing there is. They played a well-known game live on stage, engaging the audience in the show from time to time. Both actors usually do their “homework” preparing questions for future game. However, those questions remain secret to the partner up until they are both on stage and there is no turning back. This is how they end up telling personal stories about sex and dating, eating whatever the spectators have in their pockets and sometimes even getting naked in front of the crowd. This might sound like a piece of cake, especially if you perform for a relatively small audience, which was the case at the Bad Dog with only around 30 spectators. However, Mullan and Northan, both originally from Calgary, traveled with their show across Canada and “played” in front of several hundred people.
After the show both actors stayed for a couple drinks and talked to spectators. As it turned out, many of them have seen the show before, either in Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver. This is a perfect illustration of the beauty of improv shows in general and “Truth or Dare” in particular. It never gets boring and even if you go every day you can still laugh your head off.

Centre owned by the Canadian Opera Company. An exclusive VIP preview will be held on Wednesday,
October 21.
The fair’s bold design expands to occupy two floors
Feature will make the exciting move to expand and occupy spaces on the first and second floors of the
distinguished Joey & Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre. The innovative layout of the fair generates a
dynamic presentation space that fosters critical discussion about the works presented at the fair, which is
enriched by each gallery presenting a maximum of three artists.
Focused on providing visitors with a fresh and exciting perspective on contemporary art, Feature will
showcase approximately 80 emerging and established artists. The fair is dedicated exclusively to
preeminent contemporary art and brings together artists and galleries who demonstrate an outstanding
ability to innovate, challenge, and inspire.
TD Bank Group, proud presenting sponsor of Feature Contemporary Art Fair
AGAC is thrilled to be continuing its collaboration with TD as the fair’s presenting sponsor. We’re back!
After a very successful inaugural year in 2014 we’re delighted to return as the sponsor of Feature in
2015, said Scott Mullin, Vice President, Community Relations for TD. Feature clearly adds to the already
robust contemporary art scene in Toronto. TD began collecting contemporary art in the 1960s. We
continue to acquire Canadian art and actively support a range of art activities across Canada including
through loans from our corporate collection for public exhibitions.
Art Of Building A Bunker- Factory Theatre Toronto
Art Of Building A Bunker- Factory Theatre Toronto
The Art Of Building A Bunker was an unexpected shocking pleasure, to say the least.
Guillermo and Adam teamed together to pen the 1.5 hour theatrical performance based on our subconscious prejudice against other cultures. The thoughts that we’re afraid to say out loud are portrayed by Adam effortlessly as he depicts the life and times of himself, alongside seven other characters.
The solo performance of these characters conveyed through Adam’s artistic portrayal was everything that I didn’t expect from a traditional theatrical standpoint. Adam’s talent was equally as apparent and full of a captivatingly flawless edge. The overall bold humor and shock value was an absolute understatement, further instilling our inner inferiority against other races. This piece was all about the way society thinks and feels but without the harsh wrath of social appropriatism
The Art Of Building A Bunker was presented by Factory Theatre. The newly renovated theatre now holds a refreshingly contemporary spin on the 145 year old heritage building, housing a new age vibe of creativity and inspiration.
