Famed (And Troubled) Canadian Impressario’s New Talent Show

Impressario Garth Drabinsky has a new project – a talent show for TV called “Triple Sensation – aimed at performers aged 16 to 26 – will run on CBC this fall for three nights in the coveted 8-to-10 Sunday-evening time slot. The winner will take home a $150,000 Indigo-Chapters Books-sponsored scholarship that can be used for any theatrical training institution in the world (pending acceptance). A condition of this interview was no questions about Drabinsky’s impending trial or the fact he has been a fugitive from U.S. justice since failing to appear in New York Federal Court in 1999 on the fraud charges related to the 1998 collapse of Livent.”
