Terry Watada is well-known in the Japanese Canadian community for his monthly column in the Nikkei Voice, a national Japanese Canadian community paper. He has written in all genres (fiction, poetry, drama, prose), edited two anthologies, and is also known as a musician and composer. His sound recordings include The Art of Protest, Birds on a Wing, Living in Paradise, and, Runaway Horses. Watada was born in 1951 and lives in Toronto where he teaches at Seneca College. Watada’s play, Tale of a Mask, was first produced in 1993 by the Workman Theatre Group. Recently, he has been working on a revised script that will be staged in 2008/2009 by fu-GEN, an Asian-Canadian Theatre Organization. Another play, “Vincent” toured Ontario and Manitoba in 1997.
