Monday
Openings We're Tracking This Week
The editors choose three shows from across the country we think you should be aware of. Sometimes the chosen productions come from the oddest places: church basements, community theatres or even the biggest companies in the land. (LATEST)

The Question
National Editor-in-Chief Estelle Rosen knows theatre folk across the country and each week she nabs one of them and gets them to answer one question. The answers can be short and pithy, or in depth. Check out who talks the talk. (LATEST)

Tuesday
After Dark
Publisher, Gaëtan L. Charlebois, whines, gets on his high-horse, pontificates, rages, shows his lefty, Queer colours, and basically displays his foibles in a column that is meant as a sharing experience but sometimes ends up just provoking. (LATEST)


Wednesday
Video of the Week
Promo videos, instructional videos, silly videos, parts of seminars, interviews - the video of the week can be as varied and surprising as the nation's theatre. (LATEST)

In a Word...
We ask a theatre person four to six questions and let them rip. We've never been disappointed because, let's face it, theatre people have stories to tell. (Have you heard the one about the cast wrecking the hotel room while on tour...?) (LATEST)

Thursday
Picture of the Week
One fine picture and a short essay on what makes the photo fine. Here you will see the best in promotional photos, production shots, and quickly learn the names of photographers across the country who are creating a stand-alone art form. (LATEST)

Friday
A Fly on The Wall
Ottawa bureau chief Jim Murchison reviews theatre, acts in theatre, hangs out with theatre people and, generally, knows the ins and outs and whys and wherefores of the art. Each week he shares what has happened in his very (theatre) life. (LATEST)

CharPo's Real Theatre!
A one-panel comic to brighten your week, make you laugh or piss you off. (LATEST)

Saturday
Theatre For Thought
Senior contributor Joel Fishbane brings you opinions, profiles and interviews. His educated eye roves across the country to find our most interesting people and ideas, and a big story (especially if it's about musical theatre, his passion) rarely escapes his attention. (LATEST)

creating a/broad
Our columnist with the most colourful resumé (sex phone operator, solo theatre star, activist, American) takes us into her world as she creates new work, balances job,  jalopy and a new home in Montreal and prepares for the Fringe circuit (and this year, the Edinburgh Fringe!). (LATEST)

Occasional features
jackDawe
One of Canada's premier performers (and a director of no little achievement!) takes to CharPo each month to share an idea, unburden his soul, or inform. (LATEST)

The Abominable Showman
Richard Burnett profiles the young, the great and the offbeat in his very special way. Burnett, a well-known columnist and blogger, gets people to talk - often about things they had no intention of revealing. (LATEST)

The Devil's Advocate
Simple: we present a premise, we pose a question, you get to thinking, you respond. Not for the timid. (INDEX OF OPEN THREADS)

Book Excerpt
Something brand new for our readers. We are in confab with several publishers and writers to bring you pieces of recently published works by theatre scribes. (LATEST)
