Huge Success....

Huge congrats to RKS student, Bobby Del Rio

I need to take a moment to send a huge congratulations for a job well done to Bobby Del Rio for his success with his original play Professionally Ethnic in last weeks Summerworks festival. Named in 3 Best of the Fest categories in Now magazine (Outstanding Play, Outstanding Production and Outstanding Ensemble) this play was a long time coming and truly demonstrated Bobby's willingness to take risks both as lead actor and playwright. The play tackled incredibly topical and controversial subject matter and did so in a way that was entertaining and thought provoking. Bobby was successful in portraying a complete picture of the complexities of ethnicity in art and his own point of view of the Toronto theatre community clearly and concisely, never wasting a moment of stage time.

This success comes at the tail of his last project, IRL the series, a web series he created and produced that can be viewed online. He also held a starring role in My Roommate's  an Escort, the web series and you can see him next in Rouvan Silogix's play Grab'em By The Pussy this fall, which promises to be political as well as hilarious. This has been a banner year so far for Bobby and we wish him continued creation and growth for the rest of 2017.

Bobby has been a student of mine for 2 years and I am constantly impressed by his work ethic, commitment to success and willingness to learn. He is always eager to hear criticism and faces his classwork with no ego. He is the definition of winning attitude as far as my class is concerned and it is evident by his consistent growth as an actor and a human being. He has demonstrated true and unapologetic vulnerability and is always compelling to watch at he pushes himself to get to his deepest truth. Bobby, you are an inspiration to me as it has been an honour to watch you surprise me from class to class with how much you are capable of as an actor and how much of your humanity you are willing to share. You bring a unique energy to the room that could never be replaced or duplicated!!
​Congrats on all your success, I look forward to seeing what's next!
