This was my busiest day at Fringe so far! With four shows at three different venues, it was a very full day of Fringing (and exploring the area around the theatre as well!). A day like this couldn’t make me happier, seeing great theatre and spending time around this beautiful city is exactly the thing…
It’s hard to believe that Fringe is almost over! It’s been such a fun-filled week and I’ve been so happy to get to be a part of it! Tonight, I got to see Get a Dog by Jonathan Kline and directed by Amanda Cordner. It’s a funny and intense two-hander that really left you thinking…
This evening was a two-show night at Tarragon Theatre for myself and my partner. One thing that’s so fun about Fringe is seeing some of the same people night after night as you all bop around to the different theatres. It truly gives the Fringe Festival a communal feel and makes it its own unique…
Today ended up being a lighter day for me and I was only able to take in one show this evening, but what a show it was! Joan & Olivia: A Hollywood Ghost Story is a delightful, witty story based on the lives, and feuds, of Joan Fontaine and Olivia De Havilland. Passing on their…
After a fun-filled weekend away it was time to get back to Fringe! I took in two shows tonight in the Factory Theatre’s Studio space, Lesbihonest and Iphigenia in Splott. While they couldn’t be more different in tone, both productions delve deep into what it means to be a woman and the harsh realities women…

Closing out Factory Theatre’s 2021-22 Season is the dark and hysterical Wildfire. Written by David Paquet and translated by Leanna Brodie, Wildfire is wickedly smart and had the audience in stitches. Directed by Soheil Parsa, you simply cannot miss seeing this production. The performances in Wildfire are a veritable masterclass; each performance is powerful, nuanced,…
My first adventure to Buddies in Bad Times Theatre did not disappoint! Distant Early Warning, written by Justin Miller (aka Pearle Harbour) and directed by J.W. Turner, is a post-apocalyptic love story whose message about love and human connection is poignant and powerful. With the irreverence of a drag show and a story that will…
Tarragon Theatre is currently presenting the World Premiere of Three Women of Swatow, a riveting piece written by Chloé Hung. Directed by Courtney Ch’ng Lancaster, Three Women of Swatow examines the generational wounds experienced by a Grandmother, Mother, and Daughter. This compelling story will have you gasp, laugh, and cry all at once. The set…
Making its Canadian debut at Canadian Stage’s Berkeley Street Theatre, Aleshea Harris’ Is God Is is an absolute phenomenon.

A haunting, mesmerizing, brilliant roller coaster of a play, Is God Is totally blew me away. Director…
