SUMMER READING! #yegbookclub

Image
On May 26th we had a lively chat on twitter with author Thomas Trofmiuk about Waiting for Columbu s .  It was wonderful to be able to ask questions about the characters and their possible paths and has the author answer them.  It was very clear that they all continued to live outside the book.  We begged for a Consuela sequel as she was a favorite of many of us readers. It was also great to learnt hat there is a Waiting for Columbus movie in the works.  When I read the book I was struck by how cinematic it was and, like The English Patient , I thought it would lend itself to film. Following the discussion I indicated that there would be some Summer Reading Choice(s) for the next #yegbookclub.  I don't know about you, but I am always hard to pin down for the summer.  With holidays and day camps for the kids and, for this year, directing two Fringe Shows I thought we could have 2 selections to read over the summer and then in September we could take two evenings to chat about th

Fringe #42 - Sat, Aug 19 - Three Great Musicals and More WORD OF MOUTH Recommendations!

I saw three great musicals on Saturday. They were very different, but enjoyable in their own ways! First I took in Morningside Road , a new musical by Mhairi Berg and Simon Abbott. It was so beautiful. having written a play about a similar topic I thought the way that the story was told was very well done. The music is lovely and sung very well - tight harmonies and gorgeous voices. At the end, I estimate 50% of the audience (if not more) was in tears and there was an instant standing ovation. This is a terrific pick!  Next up was The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes which in the spirit Schmigadoon, the lead character Howard wakes up to find himself living in a a musical and wanting to get out of it. It was a super fun ride of a show. It hit on so any musical theatre tropes and references what feels like a thousand specific shows. The Musical Theatre afficionado should not miss this show! I loved how they really leaned into all the ridiculousness because that's the only way this k

Preparing for Fringe #42 - life, the universe and everything...

Image
My husband joked that I looked like a college student studying for an exam as he watched me working through the Fringe Program, applying post-it notes, and marking shows with stars and circles, filling out possibilities for each separate day of the festival on a separate post-it. Hey! It's serious business for me! There are so many shows I want to see and only so much time. Sometimes it's the jigsaw puzzle that makes it possible for me to see your show... sometimes the puzzle means I can't. But I will see at least 22 shows this year and likely a few more as I have 3 days at the end left blank for 'shows with buzz' and fingers crossed that they don't all Sell-Out before I am able to purchase! First things first - you can find out all things Fringe here:  https://www.fringetheatre.ca/   - so if you're new to this adventure there's many helpful tips available to help you navigate AND that's where you can buy tickets!
