Slings & Arrows [SEP] creator
airing in Canada in the summer of 2006 and in the United States in early 2007.
"Slings & Arrows" was created and written by former "The Kids in the Hall" member Mark McKinney, playwright and actress Susan Coyne, and comedian Bob Martin. All three appear in the series as well. The entire series was directed by Peter Wellington.
