Another year, another Fringe...

Congratulations to all the performers in this year's Toronto Fringe festival; some truly great and inspiring work from all sides of the spectrum. Some of our favourite shows include: Boyfriends (by Alexander Carson & Nick Martin); La Duchesse de Langeais (by Michel Tremblay); Mary's Wedding (by Stephen Massicotte); Sex, Religion & Other Hang Ups (by James M. Gangl); Mister Baxter (by Kate Fenton) and Virginia Aldridge BSc (by Elise Newman.) Now to look forward to next year's selection!

To blog or not to blog...

To blog, it seems, is the way to go these days,
Though I wouldn't call myself a fool for the craze,
I would go so far as to propose we raise
A toast, to what is a brand new phase;
A new tradition of communiqués,
That may even prove to shock and amaze
Its readers  (cajoled from their everyday daze,
They head for parliament to pillage and raze!)
Or, perhaps, it'll convince them to see a few plays.
