COMPANY PRESS

“The Journal talked with Ritchie about Hamlet, finding your voice, and why wanting what you can’t have is a very good thing. The Edmonton-born Ritchie launched You Are Here in 2016 with a focus on the production of contemporary Canadian plays with a political edge. But the company is also a vehicle for Ritchie to direct and produce shows he cares about.” - Liane Faulder, Edmonton Journal
