All is not well for indie theatre in the Great White North.
Chatting with my friend J.P. Robichaud, a stage manager in Toronto, the subject of trying to make a living in that town came up. I’ve always thought of Toronto as incredibly arts friendly, but that’s mainly based on the TV and movie scene.
“…our live […]
Ever heard that before? I have, and even managed to follow it for a few years, until my own lack of business acumen caused me to need a “real job”.
Of late my thoughts have turned again to that kind of life, though, and the joys of making your own hours (”work any 23 a day […]

Lauren talks about how it feels to NOT be in the finals in this article. Kudos for her for having the integrity to go through with it. I really hope I get to see her on the tour…
