METAs (montreal english theatre awards)

2013-10-23T18:23:00.004-07:00

The bad news is that the flu rendered me too sick to go. The good news is that the winners are picked and all I can do is report. I've got a raised eyebrow at this one. Not to say the winners didn't deserve to win, but there was a lot of good theatre this past year that went unrecognized. Did the judges only see about 5 shows in total?
