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…
We had another fun evening at the Toronto Fringe Festival! We took in two shows at Tarragon Theatre again tonight: Too Much Information Improvised and The Boy Who Cried. Because Tarragon offers three spaces for performances, there’s always such hubbub before a show, it’s a really great vibe to be in after so long away…
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…
The past three months have been a whirlwind of excitement for me. When I decided to re-launch my blog, I wasn’t really sure how to go about things; I was in a new city, with lots of theatre, and I was just little old me. But the theatre community has opened its arms to me…
Soundstream is celebrating its 40th Anniversary season this year, and as part of their New Voices program they presented Percussion Theatre on June 25th at the Guloien Theatre at Streetcar Crowsnest. Curated by Noam Bierstone, Percussion Theatre presented four unique pieces of Instrumental Theatre, each one more fascinating and complex than the next. Percussion Theatre…
The Musical Stage Company is back at the historic Winter Garden Theatre with their Marquee Festival production of Take the Moment. A beautifully woven tapestry of song and story starring Canadian theatre legend Cynthia Dale, Take the Moment is pure delight from beginning to end. I loved that the story opened with Cynthia talking…
Cahoots Theatre is back with live performances! Now under the Artistic Direction of Tanisha Taitt, their first offering is Three Ordinary Men by Steven Elliott Jackson. Based on the real-life Mississippi Burning case of 1964, Three Ordinary Men is a haunting, passionate theatrical journey. Winner of Best Play at the Hamilton Fringe in 2020, this…
