Equity Showcase Cayle Chernin Award
The Equity Showcase Cayle Award is dedicated to supporting the creation, development or production of a new work by female, female-presenting or gender non-conforming artists of any age for creation in Media or Theatre Arts. Specifically, the award is for an artist exploring a new discipline in media or theatre arts, for example, Actor to Director, Director to Writer, Writer to Producer etc.
Created in 2012, The Cayle Awards is one of the largest awards in Ontario to empower artists in Media and Theatre Arts.
Songs of the City
Equity Showcase is pleased to announce the success of Songs Of The City. As part of our mandate to unite artists and contribute to our city, Equity Showcase partnered with Artists United for United Way in this annual celebration. Co-created by Michael James (Creative Director), David Warrack (Musical Director/Composer), and Kevin McCormick (Director), these events have featured true stories shared by past United Way service recipients. Each story was interpreted by an established Canadian song writer to create a new work of art which was performed for the first time by a leading Canadian singer.
Equity Showcase launches Thank an Artist Campaign #ThankAnArtist
