Just Another Gala Podcast

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."
