Hey kids! How about this gorgeous spring weather? Finally some sunshine – though we did have quite the light and sound show here in T.O. early this morning. Saw some amazing and inspirational theatre this past Friday night/weekend: the blueSound program at the InspiraTO festival of 10-minute plays (Alumnae Theatre)…

I don’t know about you, but I’m the kinda gal who likes things to be tidy. Not in a Stepford wives/OCD kinda way, but just neat in a non-robot/non-clinical type deal thing. So, no surprise, I like to regularly purge my e-mail of old messages and spam. Especially spam. And…

Writing for two blogs these days is kind of like having two children – and one (the bigger, louder one) gets most of the attention, while the other waits quietly by for a snippet of my time. This will all be ending soon, my friends, as I’m officially retiring as Alumnae Theatre’s…

Found myself with a three-day weekend – and attending three amazing pieces of theatre: check it out (coincidentally, one of the shows I saw was The Long Weekend at the Village Playhouse – though my weekend it wasn’t nearly as hilarity-filled as that in the play). Check out the blog on…

I really need to stop staying out late on a “school” night. Last night it was Eton House for comedy night, hosted by Jo-anne Downey and featuring my pal Polly Esther (aka Fiona Newman), who was returning to the stand-up stage after several years’ absence. She was funny, nervous (in…

Hey – so still healing after last Saturday’s roller skate spill, and happily heading to York Woods Library Theatre tonight to see Alumnae pal, the lovely and talented Andrea Brown, who is starring in the Alexander Singers and Players production of My Fair Lady. Also just learned that another Alum…

First, a bit of back story: So I’d been thinking about getting me a pair of old school roller skates for some time now and finally got a pair at Cardinal Skate Co. on Good Friday (yep, they were open). They’re a low-cut black vinyl boot with light blue outdoor wheels.…

Categorizing this post as “Stuff” since I wanted to mention two movies and a play I saw recently: Jane Eyre, Water for Elephants and The Cosmonaut’s Last Message to the Woman He Once Loved in the Former Soviet Union. The two films are period piece stories of main characters facing…

April 18, 2011

One of the things I love about theatre is the examination of life and the world around us it provides – and the universality of personal experience. This past Friday/weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing two thoughtful and entertaining pieces of theatre (one of them twice, as I covered…

Hi,

I’m Cate (she/her)

A woman with short brown hair greying at the temples, wearing t-shirt and a navy pinstripe blazer, gazes up to her right with a glint in her eye.

Thanks for stopping by life with more cowbell. This blog is about living my best life through the arts. I’ll be sharing short fiction & creative non-fiction, art & other stuff. The arts are for everyone & you can choose to share your art or make it just for you – have fun exploring & creating!
