A look into the world of T.V. casting, the discussions that happen, the decisions that are made, and the lack of opportunity given to those who have not been represented before. Ins Choi’s new audio drama takes audiences through a journey of understanding the challenging and uniquely flawed decision making of those who hold the most power in an industry that’s meant to represent the audience who watches.

The Artists
You Can't Get There From Here
03/08/22 • 35 min
Love sees no barriers – at least that is what young jazz musician Nicky hopes her judgemental mother Thea will believe when she is introduced to Nicky’s much older boyfriend.
Nicky has been lying to her mother about her relationship with a much older man, a man she is in love with, a man she sees a long future with and man who is adamant to be introduced to her family. When they show up to Thea’s house for a birthday dinner, things go awry as past memories are brought up and old connections brought forward.
Kat Sandler’s The Artists is a comedic picture into complicated relationships, especially the one between mothers and their daughters.

From the corner of Spadina and Dundas in the heart of Toronto’s Chinatown, two friends, Helen and Justin, find themselves led to an old and abandoned theatre after receiving a cryptic note. Known as The Standard in the early 1920s, during the height of Canada’s Chinese Immigration Act, this venue had a history of renting its space to Cantonese Opera performers. Once inside, Helen and Justin run into the theatre’s mysterious and charismatic caretaker, Mr. Sing, who muses enthusiastically about the theatre’s history of Cantonese Opera performance.
A gripping thriller from award-winning playwright Marjorie Chan, The Standard Sing shines an honest light on the history of the Chinese Canadian experience in Toronto and brings the echoes of this experience to the forefront...suggesting that they may not be at rest...
