Homegrown Controversy Timeline

The Torontoist did a great job during the SummerWorks festival of covering the controversy surrounding Homegrown. EAP followed the story closely and even wrote about the issue here. Now that SummerWorks is over we here at EAP are glad to see that the Torontoist hasn't let the story die. Today they published a follow up to the controversy. Check out the article here. Because of all the attention surrounding the show I heard it did very well at the box office, which is great news. And just reinforces the adage that no press is bad press.
