SummerWorks adventures continued last night at the Factory Theatre Studio with Little Crickets (by Douglas Campbell, directed by Byron Laviolette, and produced by Foundry Theatre gals Elisabeth Feltaous and Nicole Grainger – and stage-managed by my pal Julie Florio). Laviolette notes in the program that “Little Crickets is first and foremost a Post…

Hey y’all – so I finally got out to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 last night – and it was awesome! It opened nearly a month ago and between my schedule and trying to get together with friends to see it, it took some time…

Okay, so – wow. Still wrapping my brain around the vast array of theatre I saw in three very different shows this past Friday night/weekend. Friday night was Hart House Theatre /Canopy Theatre’s production of Lysistrata – the sex strike at their usual spot along Philosopher’s Walk. This is a…

I’d just been wondering about Canopy Theatre recently, and how I missed them last year – and, lo and behold, my new pal Lizzie sends me and some friends an e-mail suggesting we go see Lysistrata – the sex strike. It opened last night and runs until Aug 6, performed Wed…

Hanging with Kat Leonard, her peeps, and my pals Kerri, Lynn and Tina after Kat’s Saturday show the first weekend of the fest, drinking beer and eating roti. Getting flyered by MonaRita playwright Shannon Bramer and going to see it that night, Kat’s SM Skye and I passing at the corner as I…
