Theatre Museum Canada Interviews
It all began in Vancouver in 1982 when Theatre Research in Canada (then called Theatre History in Canada) recognized the need for a theatre museum. The idea was championed by a few key people, including producer/director/designer Jean Roberts, and the drama critic for Toronto’s Globe and Mail, Herbert Whittaker. While a physical site is still in the future, Theatre Museum Canada has enlisted the support of key members of the theatrical community and continues to gain momentum and enlarge its collection. It has also evolved with the times, recognizing the value of a virtual site, which can bring together the theatrical experiences of each region in the country.
Having worked together in the past, we were thrilled to capture two interviews for Theatre Museum Canada’s ongoing collection of works. Hearing the amazing insight from Stratford Festival Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino as well as historic stories of the past 50 years from Nora Polly made the day a perfect blend of our two passions; content creation and theatre.
