    Red.. the name of the play I saw a few days ago. Red… the colour of love, of anger, of strawberries, of blood, of carnations, of rosy cheeks, of cooked lobster, of cheeky lipstick, of eyes that have cried too much. The list goes on. Red. Red by John Logan, produced by First Impressions Theatre…

    Today March 27 World Theatre Day celebrates it’s 50th anniversary with a succinct & pertinent speech by John Malkovich. Fifty years….. It’s amazing that fifty years later there are so many people who still aren’t aware of this celebration. I took it on as a mission today to make sure that a whole bunch of…

    World Theatre Day has rolled around again – where did that year go? This year I would like to acknowledge playwright Landford Wilson, who passed away March 24, 2011. His name conjures up special memories as one of his plays was my first foray onto a professional stage. Pulitzer prize winner “Talley’s Folly” is a…

    Today marks World Theatre Day, and it also marks exactly one year since I started this blog. Despite being here a year, I still feel like a newbie who desires to write more frequently, and explore more (hopefully that feeling will last forever). In the meantime, I would like to wish you all a very…

    Just recently we were in Los Angeles doing some “biz” stuff, and had the pleasure of spending some time at the Santa Monica Playhouse, Santa Monica, my favourite area of LA. Peter D.

    I was in grade 8. It was lunchtime. Hanging out in the classroom with my friends, I was eating my tuna and pickled onion sandwich (home made onions by my Mom) and launching into a story. I can’t remember the story now, but I do remember suddenly noticing one of my friends completely interrupt me…

    Remember those forts you use to build, as kids, in your living rooms, or bedrooms, or outside, using chairs, blankets, and anything that could help to create a cool cave? Worlds far from the one we were in were concocted with no agenda. Just recently, I relived a similar experience. “Under The Piano Sound Spa”…

    When I was little, I didn’t want to grow up. The grown up world looked terribly serious and my instincts told me sub-consciously that there would be a drastic change. One day when we were kids hanging out in the back shed lighting matches for fun (no we didn’t burn the place down), my little…

    When one door closes, another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” Alexander Graham Bell Thank you for the great quote Mr. Bell. Lately, I’ve been thinking about those opening and closing doors. I’ve been…
