The clock is already ticking on the school president's 24-hour deadline given to organizers to consider this lat offer. >> Many members of our community feel increasing distress by the presence of the encampment.

We've also had reports of hateful speech and hatef which we have reported promptly to toronto police service. >> Well, the protesters are appalled by the offer that the university made. Yoow, it's a bit of of a disgrace of an offer. The administration claims that they want the encampment to come to, like, a peaceful conclusion.

I've been at stratford on and off now for 20 years. Now I'm 22, obviously. >> Candace: of course. >> Over the years ago I've had the ilege of having appeared in musicals, in shakespeare, in contemporary plays, new plays, which is what stratford offers r audiences, so I've had a lot of wonderful experiences working there and having the opportunity to sort of stretch my acting m and now I'm in "something rotten," which is opening on tuesday next week, and I play thomas nostradamus, who is obviously nostradamus' nephew,. >> Candace: yes. >> And he sort of foresees the future about, but it's slightly skewed and off, which is fine.

Our director donna fiore, had the pleasure working on her on a number of shows, and she has a process. It's very collaborative. Because it's a comedy -- but I have to say in had the show, there's not a wave of laughter. People are kind of, like,laughing throughout the entire thing so it kind of -- the rhythm of the piece is affected by the audience, so it's been a real interesting process having the audience into the show and just laughing and having to knowwhen to actually deliver the line, when to continue... It's a real interesting process that we've had to sort of adopt, and it's it. >> Candace: it sounds thrilling, and I'm sure it's been thrill for the audience to t in and to take in all of the exceptional work that " "something rotten" has to offer.
