Power To Move

Hihihi!

Wednesday's show was fun and theatre-filled!

At 5, Cory and Wanita from Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre's rendition of Luff Actually were in to chat about the show and how things have been going getting ready for the production. These long-running and often hilarious shows have become a huge tradition in the city.

Kenn from Dancing Sky Theatre's production of The Fourth Wise Man was in to talk about that show, and this year's version of it. The company did the show several years ago with four cast members, but this year, it features three and is told from a different perspective.

Chasing the Sun

Yesterday's show was a busy but fantastic one! Two interviews for two wonderful events, and lotsa cool musical sounds.

At 5 pm, I chatted with Shayne Lazarowich from Métis Addictions Council of Saskatchewan Inc. (MACSI) to chat about this weekend's Louis Riel Cultural Fest. It's an artistic celebration of culture, community and reconciliation. It's also part of a year-long celebration of this province-wide organization's work over the last 50 years!


Grumms from Live Five/Scantily Clad Theatre came in to chat about Girl in a Box, starting previews tonight and kicking off officially Nov. 15 with a sold out debut! This depiction of a true-crime story is set to creep audiences out with the gripping story of Ruth Eisemann-Schier and the kidnapping of a millionaire's daughter.
