DANIELLE SAVOIE is one of my fav’rit up’n’coming actors here in Ottawa, and has been ever since I saw her in Salamander Shakespeare’s THE DEATH OF TYBALT at the 2010 Ottawa Fringe Festival. Since then I’ve seen her in ROMEO AND JULIET, RED NOSES, QUEEN FOR A DAY, 297 BAYVIEW CLINIC (it counts!), LA CIMITIERE [...]
Monday Foofarah! – - – monday april 30th 2012
….And welcome back! Three posts in one day? Why the Hell not? Especially since I sweet-talked Adorkable ™ Nadine Thornhill into writing one of them (hint: it’s the Disco One). And since recent Ottawa events…not the least of which being a show review by a revered Ottawa critic that reads like Waldorf and Statler channelling [...]
Monday Foofarah! – Gala Edition
A quiet Monday in for me, even if the rest of Ottawa is all agitato about some sporting event or other (on that note…Hey, Senators? Could you be dears and lose the next two games? Nothing personal, I just want my barspace back. Ta very much.), and I could use the rest. Last night was…well. [...]
Monday Foofarah!
I’m home at last after some major grocery shopping and a crummy five days of drudgery at the day job, chilling with Winston the Cat, sipping a tasty beverage and listening to the new Mel C album (why didn’t someone TELL me Sporty had a new album out??). And I’ve come to accept that the [...]
Monday Foofarah! – Superheroic Edition -
I don’t feel qualified to write tonight’s Foofarah. I didn’t even have the heart to capitalize the poor word just there. Shameful. And I had a theme prepared and everything, spilling out from my recent indulging in Grant Morrison’s amazing SUPERGODS original nonfiction novel. If you’re a fan of Grants or comic book superheroes in [...]
Sign of the Times
I was, like Nancy Kenny, a huge fan of Brigitte dePape’s awesome one-gal show in the ’08 Ottawa Fringe, SHE RULES WITH IRON STIX (saw it twice!). So I was sure sorry to hear that I missed out on seeing her latest tour-de-force. It just seemed to come out of nowhere! Well, that’s not [...]
Sweet Five
How long has it been since a new eppy of SWEET TARTS TAKEAWAY? Yes, you’re correct, Johnny Obvious, too damn long! So what HAS been going on in the world of Janis (Kel Parsons) and Sue (Kate Drummond), would-be-caterers and newly inducted repo ladies? Let’s watch, shall we..? More nifty highlights in this ep, including [...]
Sweet Tarts Takeaway: Episode Phantom Menace
Back again, after an interminable fifteen-minute absence, because it’s Valentine’s Day and I just can’t get enough of your pretty face, internet! But mostly, because of this: Yes, Ottawa and the world, today is the premiere of our homegrown new webseries SWEET TARTS TAKEAWAY. Starring the legendary Kel Parsons and Kate Drummond as Janis and [...]
UnderCurrents – My First Day
It’s almost 1:30 am, I just got home, and I’m trying to force myself to drunkenly write about several shows I saw tonite before I pass out. Is it June already? No, Virginia, Fringe is not here yet, but UNDERCURRENTS, our new little Winter mini-Fringe, is! It started yesterday, but tonite was my own first [...]
A Little Theatre Christmas
Holy cow, this review is late. LATE! As in, way too late. As I start to write it, the final performance is just about to get underway, so if you’re planning on seeing it based on THIS review, keep studying at school so you can finally build that time machine you’ve always dreamed of. Ha [...]
