Before each performance of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” Trish Lindstrom and Luke Kimball throw kisses to each other as they stand in the wings on opposite sides of the stage. And right before the show starts, Trevor White, who plays Harry Potter, gives his stage son Kimball a long hug. In early June 2022, I interviewed the three actors about the experience of creating a stage family and they opened up about personal events in their lives. White, Lindstrom, Kimball and the rest of the “Cursed Child” company formed strong bonds as they waited out the COVID-19 pandemic in hopes that the planned production would go forward. That’s how it is.”“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” continues performances at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre through July 2.

One of the places where “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” boldly goes in Season 2 is Toronto — yes, that Toronto, as in Ontario, Canada. And she brings an alternate version of Captain James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) along for the ride. “Seems to be New York City, mid-21st century,” says Kirk. “You know, Maple Leafs, politeness, poutine.”In an interview, Wesley said he loved that the show’s writers committed to setting the episode in Toronto. “Oftentimes, you’re filming in Toronto and they’re like, ‘We’re gonna pretend it’s New York City.’ Well, they actually landed in Toronto, which is awesome,” he said.

The research found that the deep waters’ volume diminished by over 20 per cent and that the remaining deep waters below 2000 meters experienced a warming rate four times greater than the rest of the Earth’s oceans. One aspect is attributed to changes in large scale wind patterns between the Pacific and Southern Oceans that have weakened northerly winds along the Weddell Sea, which generate the intense freezing needed to create sea ice. Closer to the continent, the production of sea ice has been slowed by reduced winds from the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in the Southern Weddell Sea. There, the wind force is no longer strong enough to push sea ice away from the shelf and create gaps where more ice can form. But these key observations from the Weddell Sea show that changes in the dark abyss can take place over just a few decades.”Comments, tips or story ideas?

I mean, if you write properly you shouldn’t have to punctuate.”That interview with Oprah is itself an example of McCarthy’s uncompromising nature. McCarthy leaves behind an unparalleled body of work, books that read of obsession and passion, of fierce and dedicated labour. He may not be the last great American writer, but McCarthy was, truly, the last of his kind.

When the cast of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” got down to work on the show’s second season, they didn’t let the fact it was a hit go to their heads. “The reaction from Season 1 really gave us so much wind behind our sails going into Season 2. The Nyota Uhura of “Strange New Worlds,” portrayed by Celia Rose Gooding, is a linguistics expert who speaks 37 languages and is part of the decision-making aboard the ship. Gooding said her appreciation for Uhura deepened while making the second season. “There comes a point, usually around the second season in my experience, that the character starts to become more second nature,” said Mount in a separate interview about playing Pike.
