A Weekend of Storytelling

This weekend, Soulo Theatre (where I serve on staff in the ill-defined role of Interim Sanity Consultant) is presenting the Mid-Career Retrospective of storyteller James Judd. James was a performer and panelist at the 2015 Soulo Theatre Festival earlier this year where he presented his one-person-show Killer Quack. This weekend he's presenting three nights of shows - Friday, Saturday & Sunday - at the Red Sandcastle Theatre (922 Queen Street East, Toronto) tickets to the extravaganza are available at www.soulo.ca/judd. There are discounts for purchasing tickets to more than one event.

On top of that, there's a special story telling workshop on Sunday afternoon, also at the Red Sandcastle. Having sat through his show in the spring riveted, I can recommend both whole heartedly. Hope to see you there!

A special feature this weekend, we have two guests. Comprising this fantastic Dynamic Duo - Matt DiSero and David Peck. One is a philosopher and instructor at Humber College. The other struggles to keep his chicken under control. Come find out which is which. (In other news, if magic doesn't work, I might try pitching sitcoms.) Magic Tonight happens every Sunday night at the Crimson Lounge in Downtown Toronto.

Last week on Magic Tonight

Thank you to the wonderful people who came out to celebrate the oddly-named long-weekend with us on Magic Tonight. It was a packed house and we're grateful to everyone who braved the rain (which we desperately needed) to see the show. Our special guests was the irritatingly photogenic Keith Brown. Visiting all the way from London (Ontario), he presented highlights from his one-person show Exchange which has has spent the last few months Fringe-Festival-hopping with. Take a look and see what we got up to.

Magic Tonight in Snapd Magazine

Photos from our show on June 28 appeared in Snap'd Magazine. I'm also told they appear in the print issue. This was our Pride weekend show, which did get a tad unusual, I must say. Their photographer, Drew Williamson, came by early so they completely missed me getting covered in sparkles and glitter (I'm told by a reliable source that those are separate things, but really, who knows?).  You can see Lukas Stark and I wearing non-matching bow-ties. For reasons that I'm unclear on, Snap'd prefers not to publish any photos of the actual event taking place, just photos of people at the event. If you want to see actual photos form the show, there are some here.

Sunday night's show at the Crimson Lounge featured the purple-shoed wonder, Phil Pivnick. Typically delightful and comical. If you haven't been to see the show in a while, take a look at what you missed: (*Sadly, shoes not pictured.)
