Congratulations Michael!

 

From the December 10th Instagam post by Michael Kras:

So very excited to announce that I will officially be the Playwright-in-Residence at @ectheatre for 2021!

ECT means a lot to me - they programmed and produced the world premiere of my play The Team last year - and I'm beyond excited to spend the next year developing and workshopping a brand new play with them.

Thank you to ECT for having me, and thank you to the @ontarioartscouncil for supporting this residency. I can't wait!

Congratulations Eric Leclerc!

From the November 24th Facebook post by Eric Leclerc:

CAN’T BELIEVE I DID IT!! 10 years ago I created a YouTube account and posted 1 video every single day for the entire year. After those 365 videos I had ENOUGH with YouTube so I left it for many years. I started posting again in 2020 and Today YouTube sent me a little something to commemorate my 100k subscribers! I’m blown away!
