It’s been a while since I mentioned any Woo Woo events. I mean they might be coincidences… Or they might be Woo Woo… I’ve been wanting to start my next playwriting project. And I was debating working on something new or revisiting one of the projects that I hadn’t finished. And then, I thought what…
I submitted a play to the Hamilton Fringe Playwriting Contest. I didn’t expect to win. And I didn’t. I didn’t even place in the top three. Who knows? Out of 54 entries, mine might have come in at 54… I didn’t expect to win. I didn’t expect to place. Why did I submit a play…
I was intending to submit something to the Hamilton Fringe Playwriting Contest. I had missed the deadline, but it got extended a week. I found an older project that had fizzled out, but I thought I could submit it with a little tweaking. You’d think I would have taken full advantage of the extra time…
I’m a deadlines kind of person. It’s often difficult for me to focus on a task unless there’s a deadline. Especially when it comes to writing. The Hamilton Fringe has a playwriting contest which I’ve applied to a few times. I even won it once. I’ve intended to apply more times than I have, though.…
Yes, it’s only the beginning of August. But I can sense the month speeding by already. Before I know it, September will be here. Which means the start of rehearsals for The Game’s Afoot.

People you may know. They keep popping up on my Facebook feed. Some of them I do know. Some of them I’m aware of but don’t know. And some others…? They’re friends with one person I know?? Why would you assume they are my friends, Facebook? But it’s the ones that you…
Another benefit of going to the Fringe is getting inspired to work on some of your own projects. Fringe-spiration comes from the shows you see that you liked. From the shows that you saw that could have been better. And from all the conversations you have with people during the Fringe. The…
One of the best things about going to the Fringe is bumping into friends and acquaintances. There’s always time for a quick catch up before the show starts. Or an in-depth debrief over drinks after the show. You can share what to go see. What to avoid… And commiserate on everything in between. There’s even…
So many shows. So little time. It’s hard to pace oneself during the Fringe Festival. Hamilton’s Fringe Festival is 11 days. It runs through two weekends and the days between. Deb and I were away for the first weekend, so that made the decision for what shows to see more difficult. There are shows you…
Oh, boy. I’m noticing signs of aging. I wanted to see a Fringe show at 1pm. So, I figured that I had to leave by 12:30pm to get there on time. And then a few minutes later, I shifted the time in my head. Suddenly, I thought the show started at 12pm. So, I had…
