We are incredibly proud to announce that BOTH of Theatre Smash’s 2008 – 2009 Productions received Dora Mavor Moore nominations in the Independent Theatre category.

Steven McCarthy was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male for his role as August in Norway.Today.

Layne Coleman’s Tijuana Cure was nominated for Outstanding New Play or New Musical.

We are so thrilled for both of these Theatre Smash artists and very proud of the entire creative teams for both Norway.Today and Tijuana Cure.

Finally, we’d love to send out congratulations to all of the Dora Nominees this year.

The Doras honour excellence in Theatre, Dance & Opera in Toronto.  Dora Mavor Moore was a well-loved teacher and director who helped establish Canadian professional theatre in the 1930s and 1940s.  The awards ceremony is on Monday, June 29th.

Until then, you can always vote for Norway.Today and Tijuana Cure for The Audience Choice Award. Vote online at www.nowtoronto.com from Thursday, June 11 until noon on Friday, June 16th.  The winner will be announced at the Dora Awards Ceremony and will receive a special plaque from NOW Magazine.

Thank you for all of your support!

Everything good must eventually come to an end…

Tijuana Cure closed last weekend after a very successful three-week run.  We are so happy with the piece and want to thank everyone involved – our artists, donors, sponsors, volunteers, audience members, board and everyone at Theatre Passe Muraille – for making it a possibility.

We’re already dreaming and scheming about our next season and we can’t wait to share our plans with our supporters.  Look out for upcoming info!

Yours,

Sarah and Ashlie
