On September 23, 2019, Sholem Dolgoy, an associate professor and former chair of production at Ryerson University’s School of Performance, retired. He taught at the school since the early 1980’s while building a towering career in lighting design in Canadian theatre and dance. I recorded the presentation that night and present here to you the juiciest bits of that evening, including an addendum to our talk from Episode #13 of the The Title Block. We recap Sholem’s career, how he got into teaching and his efforts to laud the word of theatre administrators in a time when we need them most.
Thank you, Sholem, for being a mentor to so many great artists, and we wish you all the best on your next adventure!
