Just Another Gala

Synopsis

Your Ottawa theatre podcast. We're here to give a voice to theatre in the NCR, with an eye on theatre across the country.Inspired by ex-PM Stephen Harper's infamous 2008 statement: "I think when ordinary working people come home, turn on the TV and see a gala of a bunch of people at, you know, a rich gala all subsidized by taxpayers claiming their subsidies aren't high enough, when they know those subsidies have actually gone up I'm not sure that's something that resonates with ordinary people."
