Towards the end.

So... I just dropped off our esteemed houseguest, Laura Anne Harris of Pitch Blonde, at the train station and sped home to make it for Save Point. Laura is a sweet and lovely young woman who is very bright, very talented, and very capable of having a brilliant career.

The rain seems to have held off and the spirits are still high...

Gotta go! The lights are off!

Tippi Seagram Update.

Colette Kendall of Tippi Seagram's Happy Hour was called away suddenly yesterday due to a family emergency. As a result, her two shows with us have been cancelled.

Any tickets purchased for tonight's show will be honoured at any other venue. The oganisers of Piggyback have not yet determined whether or not another show will replace Happy Hour.

The Piggyback Fringe crews are grateful that Ms. Kendall is safe and send her all our best wishes during this difficult time.

More monday night

So, after some drinks at Piggy Central I drove Laura home and we are sitting enjoying some tea and wondering wondering just how big Piggyback can be. Apparently the actress from last year's Joe The Perfect Man said we were awesome so word is getting around.

Tomorrow is our last day. I plan on seeing as many plays as possible, but my schedule is now askew due to tonight's cancellation. No matter. With new acts and good friends the evening promises to be fun.

In the meantime it's one more cup and some pie and it's off to bed.

Lies and Flops.

I have been so busy running around and hanging out with all of you that this is my first chance to blog.

Little White Lies is an honest and heartfelt examination of how our relationships with our parents must evolve as we grow into adulthood. Sitting there with my latte was a true pleasure as we all experienced adolesence and what happens when we with our heroes.

Leastest Flops was so intense that Eric said his eardrums caught fire. The wit and wordplay was awe inspiring and often overwhelming. The energy was constant and Jem was an honestly sincere and approachable performer. A nice way to end the night's performances.

Little White Lies.

Next up is theatre at Molos. Eric is getting my latte and I am catching up with blog after some technical issues. It appears God does share the sentiment "blessed are the bloggers" when it comes to Blackberries in the sanctuary.

Craptacular...and that's a good thing!

The Accident is full of vigour, frenzy and heart as we watch the relationship between two brothers evolve and eventually come to a negotiated conclusion.

Through an exaggerated artistic project we see a reconciliation of the past between these two men as they deal honestly with their shared past and family situation. Audience members left touched, some with a tear in their eye.

Waiting for an accident to happen

It is astounding how many people take in the festival even though it is a monday night!

This audience is anxiously waiting for Jono to start his show.
