Episode 64 — Allison Edwards-Crewe: Triple threat, fully embodied
About this episode
Allison Edwards-Crewe discusses the discipline of a triple-threat practice and the responsibilities of carrying classic work in contemporary Canadian theatre.
A Christmas Carol as a “heart forward” ritual anchors a wide-ranging conversation with Allison Edwards-Crewe on artistic craft, the discipline of a triple-threat practice, and the responsibilities that come with carrying classic work today. Together, the discussion explores representation as a structural commitment rather than a gesture, reflecting on Canadian theatre’s evolving audiences, institutions, and the next era being shaped on stage and behind the scenes.
