Just in case you thought I was making up all that stuff about appearing in Persephone Theatre‘s production of Beauty and the Beast up in Saskatoon in December, I present photographic proof! Here I am as Monsieur D’Arque, keeper of the insane asylum, a.k.a. (in the eyes of the four-year-old son of one of my …
Back and looking forward
As you may have noticed, blogging has taken a back seat to other activities recently while I was acting in Beauty and the Beast up in Saskatoon, but I’m settling back into a regular home routine again and ready to start off a new year of Hassenpfeffering. And it’s looking to be quite the year. …

The first sentence I wrote today…
I’ve been a bit slack on these entries, but I have a good excuse: this is opening week for Persephone Theatre’s Beauty and the Beast, so my focus has been pretty much entirely on the show.

Photo of the Day: The New Persephone Theatre

The first sentence I wrote…
…well, yesterday, actually, since I’m writing this after midnight (just got back a little while ago from seeing Enchanted; can’t wait to take my daughter to see it. I loved it, and judging by all the laughter in the theatre, so did everyone else. It had particular resonance since I’m currently in the middle of …
I’m a caryatid!
The stage version of Beauty and the Beast, as presented on Broadway, had a cast of roughly two million (that’s just a guess). At Persephone Theatre here in Saskatoon, we have a cast of 14. This means all of us poor players must play in our time many parts. I, for instance, play the Narrator, …
