Photo Coverage: Other People Opening Night Party

On Thursday night the Mutual Friends Co-op celebrated the Canadian Premiere of Christopher Shinn's Other People. The show tells the story of three New Yorkers struggling with sex, desire and their art. Featuring a cast of nine talented up and comers, the play has received rave reviews in the UK and buzz surrounding its Canadian debut has been extremely positive.

Ultimately this is a show about the struggle to connect and make art, told through the eyes of three separate characters and their friends. Stephen (played by Ben Lewis) is a frustrated writer, Petra (played by Tatiana Maslany) is his roommate and was most recently employed as a stripper, and Mark (played by Indrit Kasapi) is Stephen's ex who is currently crashing on his couch.

The show opened to tremendous feedback and support from the arts community, and has been playing to sold out houses in the intimate Tank House Theatre at The Young Centre for the Performing Arts.  On opening night, stars of Canadian film, TV and theatre came out in support of the event, and BWW is thrilled to bring its readers photos from the after-party.

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.
