Brit McCrae is a fast-rising actor, producer, and Co-Founder of KINO, a film-tech company seeking to make a more equitable film & tv industry.In this conversation, we dive into her journey into the wild-west of the entertainment industry and how she best finds balance while pursuing a career in the creative space; how do you find balance financially; how do you balance creative work for the soul and creative work for the roof over your head; how do you maintain your sanity; how do you find elements of control in a space that can feel so uncontrollable? While this conversation may be geared towards creatives (especially actors!), there are nuggets of gold for anyone who is looking to explore a creative pursuit or find balance in a space that isn't 100% within our control. Meet Brit MacRaeHailing from Toronto, Canada, Brit MacRae is a fast-rising actor/producer based in Los Angeles, California. Brit had her sights on the entertainment industry at the young age of 15 when she moved out on her own to attend the Etobicoke School of the Arts, to major in Theatre and trained through Conservatory Canada in Classical Voice. After a quick artistic pause to pursue a science degree, Brit made the big move to Los Angeles where she continued to hone her craft, training with Lesly Kahn, Anthony Meindl, and UCB. In 2018, Brit booked her first role as Jamie in the sci-fi thriller THE EDEN THEORY alongside Jeffrey Weissman (BACK TO THE FUTURE) and Carel Struycken (THE ADDAMS FAMILY). Her big break came in 2021, when she was cast as Jessica Hicks; a series regular in the highly- acclaimed television series DEPARTURE (Global/Peacock) starring opposite Emmy Award-winning actor Archie Panjabi (THE GOOD WIFE) and Eric McCormack (WILL AND GRACE). Since then, Brit has amassed a growing number of works in major film and television productions including NEON LIGHTS (Netflix) and HUDSON & REX (Citytv). She can also be seen in the new romantic film WRITING A LOVE SONG and mystery sci-fi series HIDDEN SPRINGS. In 2022, Brit co-founded KINO, a venture-backed film tech company with the mission to create greater equitability for artists in the film and television industry. Outside of acting and tech, Brit's many interests include travel surfing, reading, and boxing.

Lucy Rose Cash is a Toronto-based singer-songwriter. Her debut album— Windswept Perfectionist—is a 7-song outpouring of tender emotion and compassionate insight. Produced by José Miguel Contreras (By Divine Right), the songs capture beautifully the rawness of a budding self-awareness and the fragility of relationships. Lucy has been surrounded by creativity from birth. Her father (Andrew Cash) is a musician/songwriter, and her mother (Michelle Shook) is a visual artist. As a result, Lucy has explored many art forms, including art, drama, and dance. But it is music that appears to capture her imagination and win her attention on a daily basis. In this interview, Lucy talks about how the album came to be, her love of music, and how songwriting can often be a distraction from math homework.  More about Lucy:Lucy Rose Cash (Bandcamp)Andrew Cash (CIMA) (Lucy's Dad)Michelle Shook Fine Art (Lucy's Mom)Sameer Cash (Lucy's brother)The Visit : March 21-23 at Etobicoke School of the Arts.

They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to. Ballentine was born in Toronto, Canada to parents Eva and Blake Ballentine. She is a graduate of the Etobicoke School of the Arts in Toronto.[5] She began her acting career as a child actor on the Toronto stage production of The Railway Children, directed by Damian Cruden (2011) for Mirvish Productions.[6] She went on to appear in other stage performances, including the lead role in Numbers, at the Toronto Fringe Festival(2013),[7][8] and as Little Cosette / Young Eponine[9] in the 25th Anniversary production of Les Misérables(2013), directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell for Mirvish Productions. Also in 2013, she was invited to the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction Gala as one of the performers to read from one of the five prize-nominated titles.[10] Her first TV role came in a Hallmark Channel movie, Baby's First Christmas (2012), in which she played Karen, a primary character with Casper Van Dienin a lead role.[11] She took on her first film role in Atom Egoyan's feature, The Captive (2013), an official selection for the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.[12]She went on to share the screen with Susan Sarandon, Gil Bellows and Christopher Heyerdahl, in The Calling. In her next larger TV movie role for Lifetime's Clara's Deadly Secret[13] (2013), she played Kate[13] alongside co-stars Emmanuelle Vaugier and Richard Ruccolo. In the 2015 feature film Standoff, Ballentine portrays one of the lead characters, Bird, a young girl who finds protection with an ex-soldier (played by Thomas Jane) from a hit-man (played by Laurence Fishburne). Although the movie received mixed reviews,[14] Rene S. Garcia, Jr. of Workingauthor.com wrote "And let's not forget Ella Ballentine. I typically have no faith in child actors, but Ella strikes the perfect tone with her burgeoning independence, but emotional and physical dependency." Eoin Friel from ActionElite felt that "Ella Ballentine almost steals the movie as Bird, the girl being pursued by Sade. The poor thing goes through an absolute nightmare and manages to never be the "annoying kid" in the film; she brings genuine heart to proceedings and is essential for Carter's redemption." In an interview on Collider, Jane stated "[Ella] was pretty wonderful. She was fun, too." Ballentine's next big role cast her as co-lead in writer/director Bryan Bertino's horror film, The Monster (2016) with co-stars Zoe Kazan, and Scott Speedman. The Monster became an independent success and Ella received Fangoria magazine's 2017 Fangoria Chainsaw Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. "If horror movie performances were given Oscars, [Kazan] would be a shoo-in. Same with Ballentine. These two are so believable," wrote Staci Layne Wilson in Dread Central.[18]Bloody Disgusting, an American horror genre website, called Ballentine "The Most Badass Horror Hero of 2016".[20] According to critics, in the horror movie, The Monster "the spooky-good Ella Ballentine"[21] came up as "a minor revelation." According to the Los Angeles Times' Justin Chang "Ballentine gives a fine, fierce performance as a child wise beyond her years and unafraid of confrontation",[23] and Matt Donato from We Got This Covered writes "Ballentine rolls with the punches well for an actress her age, and this shouldn't be understated". In 2016 Ballentine began her role as Anne Shirley in the three-part TV movie adaptation of the classic Canadian novel, Anne of Green Gables. L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables (2016) was the first instalment, followed by The Good Stars (2017),then Fire & Dew (2017). The other main characters were portrayed by Martin Sheen as Matthew Cuthbert and Sara Botsford as Marilla Cuthbert. Ballentine's performance again received critical success and landed her a Canadian Screen Award (2018). "Ballentine is charming as Anne," wrote Francesca Rudkin in the New Zealand Herald. Louise Keller in Urbancinefile states "[Ballentine] is outstanding. Wide-eyed and innocent, she proffers just the right amount of worldliness as the orphan who asks for just two things as she prays for the first time. That is a lovely scene." "I was absolutely delighted by actress Ella Ballentine's portrayal of Anne Shirley. She was a worthy Anne." wrote Sarah M. Miduski. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Sheen says "I adore [Ella]...She's an extraordinary talent...She's remarkable. And she's very funny as well. We have great fun on the set and she's got a great sense of humor. She's a joy to work with." In 2019 Ballentine plays the lead, Jackie in Nicole Dorsey's Black Conflux (2019) with Ryan McDonald as her co-lead. Stephan Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter praised Ballentine's "luminous acting".

He grew up in Toronto and got his creative start attending high school at the prestigious Etobicoke School of the Arts along with two future members of BSS, Emily Haines and Amy Millan. After his interests changed from acting to music, he teamed up with Charles Spearin for a recording project called K.C. Accidental and released two records. The duo gradually blossomed into the more ambitious Broken Social Scene, and in 2007 he recorded his first solo release, Spirit If..., the first in a proposed series of solo records by various members of the mega-group. His second solo record wouldn't appear until seven years later, following the success, and eventual 2011 hiatus, of Broken Social Scene. While recording his solo follow-up, Drew began working with Canadian singer/songwriter Andy Kim of classic pop group the Archies, which reignited his creative flair and inspired him to finish his second offering Darlings, which was released in March 2014.

Something Lost Something Found by Natalia Paruzel-Gibson The Read with Carylee Show brings the love of literature to children and gives a peek behind-the-scenes by evoking the joy of reading, helping children interact with authors, and displaying the hidden talent of these authors who may be living in your community. In this episode, we're going to read Something Lost Something Found by Natalia Paruzel-Gibson. ✅ ABOUT THE STORY: Ella feels like she is stuck in a pile of gloomy mud. She misses her mom so much. So, Ella embarks on a quest to find happiness again, wishing upon a star, trying to cook it up in a magic potion, and searching for it in all the places her grieving young heart leads her. Little by little, Ella begins to find solace in memories of her mom. Something Lost Something Found is a story for young readers about the profound bonds we share with our loved ones, the importance of childhood memories, and the innate yearning to endure even the most indescribable grief. This tale's empathy and wisdom shine through every wistful, charming scene. ✅ ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Growing up in Poland, the Stefan Jaracz Theatre was Natalia's playground, a place where she eagerly watched her Mom on stage from behind the scenes. It was her mother's passion for the Arts that ignited Natalia's love of storytelling, acting, and photography at a young age. After immigrating to Canada in 1990, Natalia's artwork made several appearances in Toronto's Nuit Blanche. She was presented with the Young Talent Award from the Turzański Foundation for writing and reciting poetry. After finishing her Double Major in Drama and Photography at the Etobicoke School of the Arts, Natalia completed her undergrad in English Literature and History, which later led to her completion of a Master of Arts program at the University of Toronto. While Something Lost Something Found is Natalia's debut as an author, she has been fervently writing children's stories for the last decade.

The art work of an art school's graduating class can be a moving thing. How one person felt while attending Etobicoke School of the Art's Portfolio Day 8.

On today's Addictions and Other Vices I had the opportunity to interview Michael Posthumus about his new one man play Kneel! Diamond Dogs, following the shows' path we morph from Neil Diamond to David Bowie. I decided not to do any cuts or editing for this program, just hit the record button. Our hero navigates his world through the opposing alter egos of NEIL DIAMOND and DAVID BOWIE July 1 to July 10 Michael and I have been good friends since high school (Etobicoke School of the Arts - Drama Majors.) We've worked together in two bands Freshwater Drum and Parker Bombshell and a few other spin offs and musical side projects. I'm used to seeing Mike behind the drum kit, occasionally taking centre stage to do one of his many impersonations of different rock singers to both kill time and entertain during some of our marathon sets. A great way to change broken guitar strings, rest the voice, or add levity to the night. These were generally only impromptu few minute bits. This handsome figure has also struck a pose for my photographer girlfriend when needed. And in turn my girlfriend has provided a few publicity shots for Michael and now his alter egos. After not seeing Michael (as good friends do) for a stretch of two or more years I scored some tickets rang Michael and we went to see a play one night and he told me about this new project he was writing Kneel! Diamond Dogs. He also informed me he that had just been accepted to the Hamilton Fringe Festival to perform his one man show. Then (as good friends do) I wondered how he could pull this whole idea together? This is Addictions and Other Vices 279 - Kneel! Diamond Dogs I hope you enjoy!

Robin Dann is a singer and songwriter and founder of Toronto band, Bernice. She grew up on the Danforth, attended Barry's insane alma mater the Etobicoke School of the Arts, and now lives in one of Hogtown's best neighbourhoods (we said it), Brockton Village. We spoke with Robin about growing up in a musical family, the trials of high school, and finding her musical voice. Robin also talked about her writing process, working with the people you love, and what's keeping her in Toronto.

Sam White is a writer living in Brockton Village. As one of Barry's best friends and lover of podcasts, we could think of no better human to talk about Hogtown in 2014. We spoke with Sam about growing up Roncesvalles Village, meeting Barry at the Etobicoke School of the Arts, and why Lansdowne's ugliness makes it good. Sam also argued with Barry about gentrification, the Election, and he listed his three favourite Toronto restaurants.
