See You in a Month!

I'm still alive and well! I seem to have inadvertently taken a little blog break in the last few weeks. Work. Again. You know the story.

I'm actually tired of shopping. Seriously.  (photo source)

Just to give you a flavour of my life right now, my weeks are playing out like this:

Sunday: Two show day for Cock & Bull (I'm home before 10pm thankfully)
Monday: Shopping for TV series from 9-5 (day off from Cock & Bull)
Tuesday: Shopping 9-5. Drive to the venue. Prep & Performance for Cock & Bull 5:30 - 10:30pm. Drive home, write show report, do show laundry. Fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow (12-12:30ish).
Wednesday: Repeat of Tuesday
Thursday: Repeat
Friday: Repeat
Saturday: Morning & Day off. Performance for Cock & Bull in the evening.


My next ACTUAL day off is October 5th. And on the 6th I start prep for my next stage managing job (while working my last week shopping for the TV series). I'm already running on empty...I've discovered I'm now too old to work two jobs at the same time. This may very well be the last time I do this to myself....always gotta learn the hard way, don't I?!


So I'm officially calling it a mini blog break and I'll see you fine folks in about a month when I've recuperated.


I'm posting regularly (almost daily) on Instagram if you miss my face. I miss you guys, but I've got nothing else to give right now...

NFB Short

Hey folks! I'm deep in rehearsals at the Saint Norbert Ruins for Shakespeare in the Ruins production of Comedy of Errors this year (I'll share some more about this project in a few days). I wanted to stop in and share the short film that I worked on in March for the National Film Board of Canada.


Every year the NFB produces a series of films featuring recipients of Governor General's Performing Arts Awards. I had the pleasure of Production Managing a film directed by my talented friend and award winning film maker Deco Dawson. The film features an amazing woman whose support for the arts in Winnipeg has been integral to many institutions longevity - Jean Giguere.

Jean Giguère: The Measure of a Place by Deco Dawson, National Film Board of Canada

The film features Jean, as well as a scale model of downtown Winnipeg made out of paper. I, along with many others, cut out all of those buildings and assembled the city in a few short days! It was a very exciting project to be a part of. 

Watch the other films in the series here.
