August 12, 2007

Recent developments in the administrative structure of the Edmonton and Vancouver Festivals have raised serious questions about the philosophy of the Fringe, questions  about the financial viability of Fringe touring, and questions about the future of artists’ participation.

Who do you have to f#$k to get a review in this town?

August 6, 2007

We had five media personnel (read: critics) at our Saturday night performance of The Churchill Protocol.  Four of these reviewers were from Edmonton.  One was from Saskatoon’s StarPhoenix. The Edmonton reviewers come en masse to the Saskatoon Fringe, hoping to see as many of the touring shows as possible so that reviews can be printed [...]

Suck it up. It’s Saskatoon.

The best thing about Toronto…

July 8, 2007

I’m not afraid to say that I’m a Toronto Hater.  I take solace in the fact that everyone who lives outside of this city hates this city.  I have been pressed by many of the locals to think of reasons why I don’t like this town, and I could list several… but that’s not why [...]

Play by play for plays

April 10, 2007

While changing in the locker room at the gym today, I glanced up at the television. Locker rooms have televisions in them now: it’s not bad enough that row after row of people will stare at sports highlights while on a treadmill; now they can do it while they’re stark naked with other people of [...]

In praise of the Labyrinth

February 26, 2007

Somebody I know quite well very recently pointed out that he had the Best. Birthday. Ever. because he has the same birthday as a fictional character on his favorite show, Gilmore Girls. Yes. HIS favorite show is GILMORE GIRLS. And he doesn’t even wear mascara. Whatever. Anyway, I just feel that it’s necessary to point [...]
