Canadore College has an exciting new addition to the Theatre Arts program.

Booth Savage, a well-known Canadian film and television actor started teaching Theatre Arts students in January. He is teaching Acting for the Camera to final-year students.

Savage’s career spans more than 30 years and includes countless film, television and stage credits including his role as Harry Sinden in the CBC mini-series Canada Russia ’72, Narc acting opposite Ray Liotta, Thanks of a Grateful Nation acting alongside Ted Danson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Brian Dennehy, and the starring role in the TV series Hot Shots.

“The opportunity for our students to work alongside a Canadian actor with the experience and skill that Booth brings is a tremendous advantage. We are committed to exposing our students to some of the best actors, directors and behind-the-scenes personnel in Canada,” said David Himmelman, Dean of Communication Arts.

Canadore College Theatre Arts program launched its new summer repertory theatre, Rep21, last month. For show and ticket information, please go to www.rep21.ca.
