First Day of Painting - The Misanthrope at Walterdale

So I started painting The Misanthrope today.  It was primer day and the walls are high.  When I got to the theatre, the set looked like this:




A few hours (read: 5 hours) passed and a lot of painting was done with two fabulous helpers and when I left the set looked like this:

I have a lot to do.  More wall treatment on Thursday and Friday and hopefully I start the floors by the weekend.  There is also furniture.  I am recording the progress so that I can see all the steps involved!

It is going to mean a lot of hours at the theatre for me - since I am in the show, too - but it's home!

JTMF West - Artists For Life

I had a great time for a great cause on Saturday Night.  JTMF West held it's 3rd Annual Artists for Life event at the Catalyst Theatre.  The theme was divas and the entertainment was fabulous.  We were treated to musical sets from Lindsay Walker , Lesley Pelletier and The Fab Tiff Hall ; Send in the Girls showed us pretty much everything with their sizzling burlesque routines; Three lovely ladies from Rapid Fire Theatre made it on the spot with some improv; and we ended the evening with a whole lotta dancing to the Bridget Ryan Hare Band Experience.  Best of all, the charity raised a lot of money for HIV Edmonton and Camp Fyrefly.  So great to have such a fun evening helping people! * This marks #23 in my 2012 theatrical goal - I count it because of the kinds of things I saw and I was in a theatre!

I've seen 17 Shows so far... And we aren't even Halfway done! Woot!

So, I have seen 17 shows so far, I have at least 11 more to see and I might increase that if I have the stamina! Here's just a few quick reactions to some of the shows that I've seen so far: Jesus Teaches Us Things - Hilarious! This is the most fun you will ever have at a Sunday School class taught by none-other-than Jesus! We may have strayed from the official curriculum a bit, but boy was it fun! Lots of great songs, audience participation (low risk and totally up to you), jokes that are hilarious but not hateful! Can't go wrong with that!  The Big Sad - A really well crafted children's show for the wee ones ( I'm thinking 4-8 years - 3 if your child is particularly verbal ). It's about grief, but actually a lot of fun. The company also does brilliant work teaching the audience how to interact with the participation elements before the 'show' starts so that everyone can have a good time and participate appropriately if they feel comfortable.  Hunchbac
