Join us for the presentation of the Cayle Chernin Award at the Duke of Gloucester, 649 Yonge St. on Monday May 13 at 6PM.
The Cayle Chernin Award is an annual cash prize of $1000.00 intended to support an emerging or transitioning female artist's creation, development or production of a new work for the Theatre. The award will be presented by Collette Micks (last year's winner in film, television and media) and our three finalists are: Kat Sandler, Susanna Fournier and Natasha Greenblatt.
This year our special guests will include: actor/singer Bryn McAuley, stand-up comedian/actor Aaron Berg and the event will be hosted by the inimitable Mr. David Gale.
The Cayle Chernin Award is made possible by the generosity of Cayle's loving and supportive Colleagues, Friends and Family. This award honours the creative energy and nurturing spirit of actress/documentary filmmaker, teacher and mentor Cayle Chernin who was hard wired to tell stories.
