Sigh

"last published on Oct. 24"

The first words I read when I sign in. That's depressing. Ah well i'm here now, back in all the old familiar places, ready to bare my soul again to you internet.

First thing is first, if you missed Mourning Dove at Pacific Theatre you should be thoroughly depressed. Because it was one of the most thought provoking pieces of theatre I have seen. Fantastic. My guy friends that came even cried it was so emotional. Very very well done. I can't say it enough.

Now if you want a mediocre piece of theatre, make your way to Studio 58 where you can see The Merchant of Venice running for two more weeks I believe. Some excellent, raw acting without the other elements of theatre. Which I found to be quite distracting. No set, only skirts for some of the ladies for costumes, and, get this, they had prompt books. From graduate students I have to say that I was expecting more. Not having some of the essential parts of theatre made me question whether it really was theatre or not. I was basically watching what could have been a rehearsal with actors calling for lines and sitting around the edge of the stage. For the most part I was unimpressed.

Now if you want to see an absolutely incredible piece of art, may I suggest coming to see Mythification by Trinity Western Theatre Department. It runs from Nov. 26-29 with a matinee on Saturday. For tickets or further enquiries www.twu.ca/theatre is where you want to go. Now I am a tad biased as I am in the show but that means if I so choose I can leak secrets of the story to you. You just have to show me your ticket first. HA.
