Other highlights of the evening included a very creative silent auction, which allowed guests to bid on items such as a personalized evening with Adam Brazier, dinner cooked by Juan Chorian, Colm Wilkinson’s hat from The Phantom of the Opera and Louise Pitre’s Mamma Mia boots. The event raised lots of money for Theatre 20, which is a registered charity in Canada.
While the focus of the evening was to launch the first season of this ambitious theatre company with style and substance, the end result was something even better. Theatre 20 created an evening that showcased the tremendous amount of talent our country has to offer, and it did so without tricks, gimmicks or over the top pomp and circumstance. That is perhaps the best thing about Theatre 20: it is a group of artists feeding on their mutual respect and love for musical theatre, and that love breeds fantastic results. If the upcoming season is even half as exciting as Monday evening was, Toronto has a lot to look forward to.

 Kelly Cameron's love affair with the theatre began when she was just five years old, on an outing to see the Original Canadian Cast of Les Miserables at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. She instantly fell in love, and since then has been lucky enough to be involved in various theatre activities and productions, including a regional production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and a local production of Where the Sidewalk Ends. She has also received training from various teachers throughout Southwestern Ontario in both piano and voice, and competed in vocal competitions for which she received a few awards. Her writing career started almost by accident, when she had the opportunity to become a ghostwriter for up and coming businesses. She continues to do this, writing the content for all sorts of companies who are starting websites and looking to find their voice. Her passion and love for theatre led to her becoming involved with BroadwayWorld where she is thrilled to be writing for the Toronto contingent of the rapidly growing website. When she isn't at the theatre, you can generally find her firmly planted in front of her trusty Blackberry - tweeting, Facebooking or partaking in other such social media activities to ensure that those who want to know are kept apprised of everything that Toronto theatre has to offer. Other interests include movies, art, music, shopping, fashion and martial arts with the occasional foray into the world of finance.
