I’m just over 40% of the way through my year of blogging. Originally planned to be a daily post. But modified into writing 365 posts. Same amount of content. A little more flexibility on how it’s done. The first couple of months were difficult. I tried to hold myself to the standard of daily posting.…
It still hasn’t hit me that Burn is over. It’s been less than a week since we closed. And I’ll be seeing some of my Burn comrades tomorrow at the Player’s Guild AGM. Not enough time has passed to miss it yet. It also helps to be involved with another show. I got cast in…
The crazy thing about theatre is how ephemeral it all is. Like a flower blooming. If you miss it, you miss it. For weeks, The Player’s Guild has been my second home. And the beautiful set of Burn has been the living room that I spent a lot of time in. Here’s a picture of…
My daughter has some food sensitivities and decided to go on the AIP diet. That’s the Autoimmune Protocol diet. And so, my wife and I are going on it, too. Sort of. I’m an omnivore. And I don’t have any food sensitivities that I’m aware of. So, I’m going to cheat. But I’ll cook the…
A friend of mine saw me in Burn. She told me that it was the best performance she’s seen me do in all the shows of mine that she’s seen. She might be right. You hope that you do a good job when you’re acting in a play. But I’m lazy when I’m preparing for…
Not everyone is meant to be a parent. Some people want to be one, but it doesn’t work out for them. Some people don’t want to be one, but they become parents anyway. I always wanted to be a parent. It’s not like I dreamed of being a dad or anything. But I always knew…
We had our Vocal Point end of season party this week. Unfortunately, not everyone could make it out. Schedules, schedules, schedules. It’s hard to wrangle a big group of folks. I was able to get there, though. And aside from my Karaoke Krash, it was a fun time. We celebrated at Deja Vu Karaoke Bar.…
If you’re going to do karaoke, you’ve got to know your songs! Our choir, Vocal Point, had it’s season ending party this week. And it was at a Karaoke Bar. I wasn’t going to sing. I save my karaoke singing for home. With a ladle for a microphone. And my family as my audience. They’re…
One of the things I hate about doing a show is checking for friends after the performance. When the applause ends, the actors leave the stage. And we get out of our costumes and make up. If you know that you had family or friends in the audience, you get changed quickly. Otherwise, you can…
After our Friday performance of Burn, we got a surprise. Before we could go out and greet our family and friends after the show, we were told to head back upstairs. Matt, the director, wanted to talk to us and was bringing some other people. Ominous… It turned out that John Muggleton and his wife…
