The Stars Behind Us

This past Wednesday's show was a busy and great one!

First, Darren and Paul from Strata Festival came in to chat about the composer-centred event which will be running June 6-19 at venues all around the city. It sounds like it is going to be fascinating, with a concert which will see performers playing from the shore to an audience on the Prairie Lily, among other cool events.

At 5:30, I spoke with Candy and Andrea, the stars of the  Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre's final play of the season. The production is called Two Indians, written by the amazing Falen Johnson. They chatted about how prep for the show has been going, what the piece means to them, and the beauty and brawl which can happen between families. It started previews May 30, and will run until June 9. Shouldn't miss this one!
