This week’s show includes information on yesterday’s announcement from the federal government of Canada about additional support for Canadian artists and cultural workers, and changes to the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). House producer Matthew Pearson speaks to those working in the industry to hear how they are thinking about how quickly audiences will return once COVID-19 restrictions are relaxed. Listeners hear from The Great Canadian Theatre Company, Rose Cousins, Sarah Harmer, Jay Semko, the Sobey Art Prize, Sasha Suda from the National Gallery of Canada, I Lost My Gig, and Simon Brault from the Canada Council for the Arts.
