Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: It took lots of moxie, but Casa Loma play now king of the castle. How did Chysta Production - a small, independent theatre company - score a coup by securing the grandiose, coveted Casa Loma as a theatrical venue? The whole basis of negotiations involved a sense of care, explains producer-director Andrey Tarasiuk, 33. Before forming Chysta two years ago, Tarasiuk produced The Dream In High Park for Toronto Free Theatre in 1983. [Incomplete]
