The New Young Reviewers Program (previously, Teenjur Young Critics), supported by the Jon Kaplan Legacy Fund, is a workshop series and writing group for emerging theatre and performance reviewers Canada-wide, ages 15 and up. 

Led by Signy Lynch (Contemporary Theatre Review, Canadian Theatre Review, Intermission Magazine) and Stephanie Fung (Kingston Theatre Alliance, Canadian Theatre Review, Single Thread Theatre), this program focused on introducing participants to the basics of theatre reviewing and helped them develop responses to Toronto Fringe performances. It also encouraged participants to explore new, creative approaches to criticism that are emerging in the field, and to begin to define themselves as critics and reviewers. 

Single Thread’s Artistic Director, Liam Karry, will participate in a panel discussion as part of this program.
