POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Earlier this month was the first session of our Ever Emerging Artist Program! Led by program director Lisa Karen Cox with program coordinator Ashlee Marcus, all six artists from the cohort came together to get to know each other, and to learn more about touring and producing from Volcano’s artistic director Ross Manson, and our director of touring and global collaboration, Joel Klein.

This is a powerful cohort of artists, and we can’t wait to keep the conversations, thoughts, and questions going at our next session.

You can learn more about the EEAP through the link in our bio!

A big thank you to TD Bank for its support of the Ever-Emerging Artist Program.

So many friends, familiar faces, and promising new beginnings at #tiff 2026. I truly did not think I would find a moment to share these photos, and it feels like a small miracle that I managed to take any at all (knowing me there is an album or two left and hopefully a SACFF ALBUM down the horizon!)

A heartfelt thank you to the @reelasian team for sharing their wonderful photos from that unforgettable rooftop party with @mosaic_misaff @reelasian @southasianfederation and many other wonderful collaborators.🎉

TIFF has a way of compressing months of conversations, introductions, screenings, and possibilities into a single exhilarating week. It is a privilege to be part of it, even when the pace leaves little room to pause. Now, it is time to return to the work and follow through on the many ideas and connections that began there and bring it all together.

Thank you to every artist, volunteer, venue partner, staff member, and audience member who made the 38th Toronto Fringe Festival unforgettable. Together, we celebrated bold, independent theatre across the city, AND we helped return over $600,000 in box office revenue directly to artists!
See you next year, Toronto. 🎭

@toronto_fringe souvenirs!

I saw 37 shows in 11 days of a 13 day festival plus walking in the artist parade, playing video games, giving up at Spurs night, singing along to MCR at Drag Night, producing Comedy Night, music directing Awards Night, really enjoying one true patio night (maybe too much), creating social content, writing newsletters, coordinating interviews, and so much more. I saw @2mannoshow 1 and 2/3 times, and saw @jonbennettcomedy zero times even though I had it in my calendar twice (sad face).

I don’t know what to say about it all yet.
I am where I am supposed to be, yeah?
