The Community of Comedy: Eddie May Murder Mysteries Promises Fun And They Deliver
Eddie May Murder Mysteries is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary and, last night (May 29th, 2009), I was very fortunate to attend a special presentation of Eddie Get Your Gun.

Eddie Get Your Gun is a delightful, [...]
I discovered a new flavour of shoe! What flavours remain to be discovered?
Up until first communion, I owned and wore one pair of sneakers / winter boots. I wore them everyday, in every circumstance, until they fell apart.

Thursday night, I saw Evolution Theater’s Canadian premiere of Mark Ravenhill’s Pool (No Water). It is a good show and well worth seeing. The script is great; the decision to stage it in traverse is skillfully exploited; there are simple but effective set and lighting design choices; and the ensemble, on the whole, offers an effective performance — [...]
