Matt Murray started writing plays and musicals after a 20-year career as a musical-theatre performer – and he’s never looked back. His new comedy, Chronicles of Sarnia, opened this summer at the Blyth Festival.
Matt and host Joanne Wallace discuss the craft of writing comedy for the stage and the role the audience plays in that process. Matt also shares what inspired him to write The Chronicles of Sarnia, a story set in his home town, and how supporters of a small theatre festival in Blyth, Ontario help artists create new works that continue to define Canada.
The Blyth Festival is 2.5 hours west of Toronto
