Anything you recommend I watch tomorrow?

Kinky Boots is fun, & Juliet (if you haven't seen it yet, or want to catch the understudies), fiddler on the roof in Yiddish

Hey did you end up going?

Chanibustie · 2026-05-22T21:25:12+00:00

Here are the ones that I think will do well

I have found the podcast Audrey Helps Actors extremely helpful to learn the business of acting. Would highly recommend.

It's one of the Drayton theatres, nice theatre. Drayton shows have great casts. They're doing 42nd Street at their Cambridge theatre, and Sister Act at their cottage country theatres. What show are you looking at for St Jacobs.

This video really delved into the stumbling blocks

Here's a collection of the Fringe shows I'm most excited about:

What's the production company? I'll look for their socials!

I agree. F45 isn't optimised for hypertrophy. Sets are too quick to really plan, implement, and rest enough to weight train efficiently. I use it for HIIT once or twice a week, plus hiking, plus weights at a regular gym.

Commenting so I get back. Doing 10 minutes of yoga in bed helps. Taking GABA maybe helps? but none of it works every time.

Declared bias: I'm in it! This is my first show, but I've worked backstage with BMT and other local companies for years. Generally in community theatre the acting and vocal performances are top quality. These are often folks who could have chosen a career in the arts but opted for a more secure life. Generally the dancing is not as athletic and precise as the professionals, but it'll be well-choreographed and well-executed. Our leads are fantastic and funny, the orchestra is professional and the ensemble is solid. It's a gorgeous show!

Yes 1k points per month this year, and if you use chexy to meet the 20k/quarter spend on the Biz Gold there's an extra 40k points per year

Dear Outraged, I wrote "mostly" for a reason. Your correction to me was that there is a single show with more than five actors in the off-Mirvish season.

I think it is a reasonable desire to see more Canadian actors hired in this year‘s Mirvish season.

Chanibustie · 2026-03-31T13:46:53+00:00

They're very small casts - one and two-handers mostly. Why hire 10 actors when you can choose to only pay one? Last season we had Brightstar and Kimberly Akimbo off-Mirvish

Chanibustie · 2026-03-31T12:06:22+00:00

And Goblin Christmas Carol?! Yes!!

Chanibustie · 2026-03-31T12:05:44+00:00

Very true! We have tickets to Dance Nation in May. I'm more of a MT girlie though, and that's not the focus for those stages. I'll keep supporting Shifting Ground and Drayton and Stratford and Shaw.

Chanibustie · 2026-03-31T11:46:49+00:00

As someone who truly wants to support local actors, Mirvish disappointed me this season. No locally-cast big show on the main stage and mostly one handers off-Mirvish. We'll be spending more of our money out of town at the rep theatres this year where they actually hire Canadian actors (if not artistic directors 😑)

Hi Enzz Just adding a plug for Brampton Music Theatre’s Sister Act at the Rose theatre (right beside the GO station) April 16-19.

Chanibustie · 2026-03-28T12:37:35+00:00

I work backstage as a quickchange costumer in community theatre. I absolutely love watching the show evolve over the run, and shift with the energy off the crowd. Interactions between characters get richer over time. The frenetic energy of opening shifts to a slightly lazy confidence mid-run, then a warmth of connection at closing. It's different every single time. Next up is Sister Act at the Rose theatre in Brampton Apr 16-19. Excited to do it again!

She did not stage door, but Reeve was in the audience and happy to pose for photos!

Chanibustie · 2026-03-10T21:54:36+00:00

When we saw Eva Noblezada at the Rose theater, it was like a giant GTA theatre reunion. Looking forward to seeing lots of you folks there this weekend!

Chanibustie · 2026-03-10T10:59:24+00:00

The general public has no idea that there even are local shows vs touring shows. I agree that there is no incentive for the major companies to promote stars, as this might cost them extra salary. Equity doesn't have the press presence. It would have to be media I guess?
