We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Danny Secter on June 11. Danny was a longtime friend and supporter of One Yellow Rabbit Performance Theatre. Unfailingly generous, graceful, and adept at his profession, Danny was an inspirational man. Splendid adjectives could be collected here, and still we might not describe what Danny was to us: a magnificent and benevolent supporter. He was gentle and kind, and his contributions were huge and his attentions selfless.... Our deepest condolences to family, friends and to those he inspired and touched throughout his life.

Congratulations to the winners of this years #Calgary Theatre Critics Awards, including the legendary John Murrell - award winner of the Honorary Calgary Theatre Critics Award. Along with Joyce Doolittle, they are celebrated for their inestimable contributions to theatre. #yyc #yycarts The Shakespeare Company Hit & Myth Vertigo Theatre reWork Productions Alberta Theatre Projects Theatre Calgary High Performance Rodeo Calgary Theatre Critics Awards
