Davis discusses funding; the musical "Mr. Scrooge" which he plans to direct; other directors for the season and the new emphasis on school audiences.~Also interviewed are Toronto director Kurt Reis, who will help stage the opening play in the new repertoire, and the Crest's resident designer [Tom Spalding]. The program ends with the comment that the theatre's success or failure can't be predicted (see notes). <27mn>Subjects:PERFORMING ARTS~THEATRE PRODUCTION & DIRECTION~THEATRES~TORONTOLanguage:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
