fringe fantastic

sorry for the lack of posts but life has been insane of late. there was a week of absolute insanity rehearsing 11 hours a day in oxford for the show we have now brought up to the edinburgh fringe festival. the festival is remarkable. it's like a city based on market square during the winnipeg fringe.

our show has blown me away. i love the idea of the show: a whole bunch of actors in an audition preparing to make the final round. we were able to create our own characters (minus the songs) and did a whole bunch of neat character exercises like thinking through our character's adolescence and writing their resume. the path to the performance has proven exceptionally successful- we sold out our first two nights and if we sell out tonight we will have broken a record for our venue! anyway, it's way cool...

in another news, the dissertation works strolls along, crises has been averted on that front (thank the lord). i fly to canada august 27th and then stay for a month. see many of you then! cheers
