Those who know me know that I’m a big fan of lists. Most of my lists have to do with stuff I need to do or get, movies and plays I want to see, books and music to get my hands on, and various other arts events to see and/or blog about. Blog editor Carolina Smart just posted the October/November issue of Lipstik Indie Review yesterday and also sent out a request to participating bloggers – including yours truly – to look at what we reviewed over the past year and come up with our top three of 2012 for the December issue.

Yikes!

Only three?

Gonna have to spend some time thinking on this one, folks. Luckily, we have until the third week of November for this. But still.

What are your top three arts/culture/entertainment events of 2012?

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS: In my October 28 post about painting The Drowning Girls set, I mistakenly referred to the amount of paint as a “quart” when I meant to write “gallon;” that has been corrected in that post. With thanks to Ed Rosing for pointing out the error.

    Oh, man, this is gonna be a difficult task for you! Three?!?!
    I bet you could list three bests per week!!!

    For me, 2012 highlights definitely include:
    -Toronto Fringe; especially Peter & Chris, Little Lady and Snug Harbor.
    -The TPM Beyond Walls Songbook Series– I participated in the Madonna and Musical Couples ones and was floored by the talent involved and the dynamic artistic direction of the whole show.
    -Alumnae Theatre had a strong season this year with shows like Sylvia and Mrs. Rochester and a beautiful version of Trojan Women. Tina McCulloch is always a standout actor especially when she plays crazy!
    -And who could forget the Wonder Women series which gets better and better with each event?
    -Beautiful & The Damned– Oh, man, I could go on.

    Good luck, there, Cowbell! ;D
