Art Attack

[listersgirl]

1. Colm Feore is doing Oliver! at Stratford next season, among other things. Exciting! I love him. I saw him as Henry Higgins at Stratford in 2002 and he was awesome.

2. I have triumphed over the Fringe program, and now I have many. I win. I also win because there are many exciting things this year, including a TJ show that I haven't seen. Anyone else excited about specific shows?

3. I finished watching season 2 of The Wire last night. I can't believe it's over! Season 3 better hurry up and come out on DVD before I spontaneously combust.

4. Bernadette! Bernadette! Bernadette!

5. Same sex marriages have been legalized!* Go Canada! That makes us third, after the Netherlands and Belgium. Of course, Stephen Harper is still pouting, the twit.

*Technically this isn't about art, unless you think politics are art. The art of making alliances, perhaps?

COLM FEORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad he'll be back at Stratford next year. I have loved him sooooooooo much since I saw him in The Pirates of Penzance way back when I was a dorky little 13-year-old. He was the pirate king (huzzah for the pirate king!).

Also, yay Fringe! I don't have my reviewing schedule yet, but a reliable source told me I would probably be holed up at the Tarragon once again. What are you excited about, besides TJ?

[listersgirl]

Colm Feore would make an AWESOME pirate king. Dude.

One of the reasons I'm so excited about Fringe this year is that I'm within easy walking distance to the Tarragon. Joy.

Hmm, let's see - I haven't looked too closely yet, but on first glance I'm excited by An Unfortunate Woman (Nicola Gunn), Tales From Another England (Screwed & Clued), Confessions of a Class Clown (Ryan Gladstone), Stop Not Going (the former Sabotage), and In Trousers (William Finn musical!). And others. :D

Yay Fringe!

Am wondering if I should fly a Canadian flag on the fourth of july here. Or if they'd stone me with cowboy boots?

[listersgirl]

Or maybe you'd get buried under an avalanche of "Freedom isn't free" stickers.

[starfishchick]

But freedom ISN'T free! A bumper sticker told me so!!

Well, you can definitely fly it on Friday for Canada Day.

Okay, that was supposed to be a response to anglaisepaon.

Hee.

New TJ Dawe show? Squee!

Our Fringe isn't until August so I have a while to wait yet....

[listersgirl]

I don't know what TJ you'll be getting - he seems to be doing different shows at each festival (in Montreal, he's doing a different one each day, plus a couple of works-in-progress).

It just happens that Slip-knot is the one of his I haven't seen, because he didn't get into the Toronto Fringe the year that he was touring it.

But I will be sure to tell you exactly how wonderful it is. :D

That's what I love about having our Fringe so late -- I can read all your reviews of Toronto and it makes my play picking so much easier!

Colm Feore! Yay!

*drools*
*pants*

OH FOR REAL.

Yes.
