Late yesterday afternoon, I stopped by the Fringe Club (Honest Ed’s Parking lot – Bathurst/Bloor) to experience Jordan Mechano’s Monologues for Nobody, one of several Shed Shows on offer at this year’s Toronto Fringe. When I say “experience,” I mean this is DIY theatre acted by you, for you. There’s a list of 20 monologuesContinue reading “Toronto Fringe: Take a moment to play in the Shed in Monologues for Nobody”

I had the great pleasure of seeing Theatre Brouhaha’s production of Kat Sandler’s Delicacy for the second time during its SummerWorks run at Lower Ossington Theatre last night.

Deliciously sharp & brutally funny – Theatre Brouhaha’s Delicacy
Very happy that Ed, Andy and I finished up on The Drowning Girls set last night in time for me to make it out to the 10 p.m. performance of Delicacy at Factory Studio Theatre, where I bumped into another Alumnae Theatre pal, Tina McCulloch. I’d heard a lot of good things about Delicacy andContinue reading “Deliciously sharp & brutally funny – Theatre Brouhaha’s Delicacy”
