Sorry that I haven't been posting much this week. I've been super-busy spending days working and nights at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, and haven't really had much of an opportunity to post.
The fringe festival started off with a bang, as Wednesday night saw a group of us attending the opening performance of Charles Ross' The One Man Lord of the Rings. Yes, you guessed it right if you figured that Matt would be there. And yes, he was once again dressed as Aragorn. He just can't get enough.
The show was, to the surprise of none of the people in the group that was in attendance, fantastic. After the show, we retired to the beer tent in Old Market Square where we caught up with Charlie, who we haven't seen since last year's Fringe. Charlie is very busy with his schedule of shows. I encourage you to check out his site to see if he will be performing anywhere near you. If he is, catch his show. As I know that everyone who reads my blog is a complete nerdlet like myself, you're sure to love his one man shows as much as Eddy, Clay and I do.
While we were catching up in the beer tent, Charlie told us that he'd like to do a trilogy of trilogies. So, if you have any suggestions as to what you think his next one man show should be, go to his forum and let him know.
Thursday saw the beginning of the "go see it because of your connections" plays. Being a theatre student, I know so many people that are putting on shows my frequent Fringer card starts to get used up very quickly. As of today, I have seen, One Man Lord of the Rings (3 times), Wild Cards, Pinocchio, Trouble in Tahiti, Bloodsuckers! The Musical (about a vampire slaying nun. Fantastic!!), and pygMAILion, and that doesn't even begin to make a dent in the shows that I want to see.
So, it's going to be a long, and tiring, but amazing week!! Talk to you soon.
