The 2013 edition of The Harold Awards, an annual celebration of the DIY and indie spirit of Toronto theatre, is hosted this year by Lindy Zucker and Richard Lee—performers and theatre creators both, who wear many different “hats.” The awards, now in their eighteenth year, are named for Harold Kandel, a legendary local theatre aficionado (and heckler). The list of past award winners reads as a who’s who of local theatre creators; and this year, as in the past, last year’s winners will surprise their chosen successors with their “harolding.”
