Why Toronto is a Great Place to Study Performing Arts
Those Canadians are keeping secrets from their neighbors to the south. They don't want the Yanks pouring over the border to enjoy Toronto theatre. Toronto theatre? Yes, they're keeping it secret that Toronto is the world's third-largest English-language theatre community (behind London and New York). And residents of the Toronto metropolitan area—more than 40,000 of whom are employed in the arts and theatre industry—don't want any competition either!
