An Experiment In Cosmology: A Hundred Million Billion Paradises Yet To Come
Before there is a beginning, there is nothing. Nothing is boundless and infinite. The impossible can happen. And it did.
Creation happened and it filled nothing instantly without any — and in every — direction.
Because creation was everywhere, it was aware of itself. It saw in itself beauty and, because it saw beauty, it also saw [...]
My Greatest Clothing Purchase Ever: Or, How I Became a Hoodie Whore
In honor of the Zones Théâtrales re-mount of the Projet Rideau / Rideau projects, I thought I’d tell the story of my greatest clothing purchase ever. Ever!
You see, the connection exists because the purchase happened during a performance of Magnetic North’s presentation of the Projet Rideau / Rideau Projects in June. Intrigued? I thought you might be. Shall I continue? Oh [...]
Should I Stay or Should I Go: Do You Want To Be “Guy #3″ or “Guy #4103″?
Back in March 2009, I faced a choice that a lot of folks in the arts eventually face: should I stay in a small and/or underdeveloped arts market, like Ottawa, to pursue my career or should I head off to the bright lights of a larger more developed arts market?

The collective sense of renewal, energy, and excitement is [...]

Last night, I attended the official — dare I say, gala — opening of Gladstone Theater’s Noises Off. I am tempted to add “gala” to “opening” because the Gladstone knows how to cater a post-show reception! There were heaps of fresh oysters, shrimp, and other tasty treats.
The show itself was a treat too. I may [...]
Why Do You Create: Discussing The Why of Creating
I’m having one of those days when I know I should write but don’t have a strong compulsion to write about anything in particular. This is symptomatic of a blessing in disguise. There are, in fact, many things I want to write about. My struggle is in deciding which topic in particular to write about.
