TBD: An Emergent Property
For the record, TBD isn’t the first time I agreed to write a play from scratch for the Ottawa Fringe. Back in February 2007, having just returned from Ottawa, Dave Dawson asked me to write something for his upcoming Fringe tour, which started in Ottawa. At the time, I had pretty much sworn off writing […]
The G-Men Go To Summer Camp: The 2010 Winnipeg Fringe Storms Into Life!
July 15, 2010
More than one Fringe pal — old and new — has said the Winnipeg Fringe feels a lot like summer camp. Theatre folk descend on Winnipeg from all over the world. Everyone is ready to make new friends and reconnect with old friends from the year before and, in many cases, from the years before. […]

Fourteen Short Free-Associations About The Edmonton Fringe
August 18, 2009

From Saskatoon To Edmonton: A Tale Of Two Fringes
August 11, 2009
Edmonton. Day Three. The five hour drive passed easily. It has been a long time since I have gone a long distance in one go; so it was easy to savour the poetry of the wondering skyline. We had a wide blue sky and long long rail-straight lengths of highway. It was the kind of […]

Words can only create a mosaic, a mosaic that is never seen from sufficient distant and, without that distance, the whole picture is never fully realized.

Saskatoon Fringe Wordsnap: The Off Broadway Arts Centre
August 3, 2009
For the performers, the Off Broadway Arts Centre green room is the heart and soul of the Saskatoon Fringe. There is a games room, a bar, comfy couches, internet access, inexpensive pasta and sauce, and pay-what-you-can coffee. We meet, we greet, and friendships are born. And whenever you throw that many talented people into one […]
