I don’t know about you, but I’m always very excited to see the first robin of the season, especially when it’s not even officially spring yet. This actually happened earlier this week – Thursday, I think, as the days have been pretty much a blur right now. Such an optimistic…

Hey – I’m a very tired camper this morning, up late last night (well, late for a gal who has to be up at the crack of dawn to get to the office job early) at the opening of week two of the New Ideas Festival at Alumnae Theatre. Read all…

About a week ago, I submitted a photo and essay to the Born This Way blog. You may have heard about this site in the news – it features photos of gay folks when they were children, along with short essays about the photo, their coming out experience, where they’re at today,…

Big artsy fartsy day yesterday, chickens, starting with the New Ideas Festival week one noon reading of Mythmaking up in the Alumnae Theatre Studio. Not to worry, the family drama was all on stage – at least, for me it was. For the scoop on that, check out my ‘New…

The washing machine in my building has broken down, which meant I had to schlep my laundry to the neighbourhood laundromat last night. Not such a bad thing, though, as going to the laundromat affords the perfect excuse to catch up on some reading. I took Dancing with Mr. Darcy…

Just realized that I neglected to mention that Canadian actor Jackie Burroughs, who died this past fall, also appears in Small Town Murder Songs (as a Mennonite senior who is interviewed during the course of the murder investigation). Burroughs was well-known on Canadian t.v. for her portrayal of Hetty King…

Yeah. I’m an addict. Visited the Young Centre twice in the past 24 hours: last night for Soulpepper’s production of The Fantasticks and today for George Brown Theatre School’s second year period study performance. The Fantasticks – in its current form – is only slightly older than I am. And…

Saw Small Town Murder Songs on Sunday. The Canadian film, by writer/filmmaker Ed Gass-Donnelly, features an excellent cast – notably Peter Stormare, Jill Hennessy and Martha Plimpton, as well as my pal Heather Allin, and a haunting choral soundtrack by Bruce Peninsula.
