economist sunsuntribune entertainment saturday june 18 2005 2t shadowpath shines light on york talent drain by simone joseph staff writer one by one alex karolyi saw her talented friends move south call it artistic brain drain or just plain common sense on the part of unemployed performing artists who flee the suburbs and head to the big smoke adam brazier is one of many tal ented natives of york region who have found success south of the 905 he starred in a downtown toronto production of aladdin in december and according to him while york region has a wealth of wonderful community theatre opportunities there are few profes sional acting options t work all oyer the country and there are always auditions in toron to i dont mink there are any pro fessional auditions in york region the major difference between community theatre and profession al theatre is the money professional theatre pays so its understandable a unionville native such as mr bra zier must go farther afield than his hometown to earn a living it community theatre doesnt provide the opportunity for people who trained in the arts to work in york region ms karolyi said in toronto there are more profession al resources available theatre fes tivals theatre companies when you come to york region its very barren theres no real centre for the performing arts she said v then almost as an afterthought she added thats slowly chang ing ms karolyi along with courtney mcnamara and chantal forde want to become a catalysts for change in york regions theatre arts community the three women all in their alex karolyi mid20s formed a professional the atre company called shadowpath theatre productions in 2003 and received an ontario trillium foun dation grant of 25000 to produce a show in york region trillium realized that there was a need for professional theatre in york region to strengthen cultural awareness and provide options for professional artists in the region seeking employment ms karolyi said all three women hail from out side of toronto ms karoiyi and ms mcnamara are from newmarket while ms forde is from oakville shadowpath is so named because it aims to shadow great modern playwrights such as ten nessee williams and henrik ibsen by reinventing their popular plays and establishing new pathsin the atre through original works and innovative creation theres always norm foster and neil simon being produced by the atre companies we want to intro duce new playwrights and revisit modern classics ms karolyi said last month shadowpath the atre productions presented john osbornes look back in anger its an edgy production its a drama this show coins the phrase angry young man he push es the buttons of the other charac ters its not a light happy comedy its about the dysfunctional rela tionship of four characters said ms forde who had a part in the play but a major obstacle the trio encountered was finding an avail able affordable and appropriate place to perform in the end they chose the factory theatre in auro ra shadowpath produced york region shows in the past but last months production was the first to receive funding formore information visit wwwshadow-
