The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

A white woman with short dark wavy hair wearing a blue cardigan discusses a script

Episode 76 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

It’s been a few years since Halifax had a dedicated queer theatre festival, but that changes April 26 with OutFest. Produced by Page1 Theatre, the event’s goal is to “provide a platform for multi-disciplinary artists to create stories that reflect our community, both past and present.” Page1’s artistic director Isaac Mulè stops by to give an overview of this year’s program and chat about the festival’s origins in Kitchener ON. Theatre maker Katie Clarke is also on board to dig intoCan You Remember How We Got Here, the one-person show they wrote and are starring in (maybe).

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
