Toronto theatre has a diversity problem “The current population of Greater Toronto consists of 43 per cent visible minorities. In their current seasons, the seven largest not-for-profit professional theatres in the city employed 79 actors from visible minorities out of a total of 394, a rate of 20 per cent. If you add the two major festivals — Stratford and Shaw — to the mix, the figure becomes 106 out of 622, or 17 per cent. That’s a considerable gap, and while everyone agrees the winds of change are blowing, they’re not moving rapidly enough for many people.”
