Need a Sunday serenade? Check out this FREE event at The Dance Centre: choreographer Amber Funk Barton (the response.) and composer Marc Stewart will sing their fave pop songs and share their first songwriting collaboration. The songs are part of a new project – a PTC Company Collaboration project – called "How to Say Goodbye" with Heidi Taylor as dramaturg.

Congrats to all the GG nominees for Drama, but especially Tetsuro Shigematsu for 1 Hour Photo! This epic love story, about Donna Yamamoto's father Mas Yamamoto that encompassed the major events of the 20th century, was a PTC Company Collaboration project with VACT and Dramaturg Heidi Taylor. The show was directed by the inimitable Richard Wolfe #GGBook2019
