[Candrama] Fwd: The Ward Cabaret

[Julia Gray]

Hello CanDrama colleagues!
I am forwarding this information on behalf of my good friend John Lorinc,
that might be of interest to folks in the Toronto area.  'The Ward Cabaret'
is a performance piece that builds on the book 'he Ward: The Life and Loss
of Toronto's First Immigrant Neighbourhood', which was originally edited by
John, as well as Michael McLelland, Ellen Scheinberg, and Tatum Taylor.

Various links are below for more info, but might be of interest to folks
engaging in historical performances, public scholarship, performance and
migration, performance and cities/city development, among others.

Warmly,
Julia
