SEEKING... the play

I spoke to my mother yesterday.  She told me that I need to take a few minutes to update the blog.  And even though she may be the only one reading it, she's right.  Here goes.  Winnipeg is the second biggest fringe in Canada.  The crowds are huge and there are 155 shows.  Some of the reviewers are not normally reviewers and can be downright hateful.  A few of my favorite shows were slammed before they even opened.  Some of the reviews are fair and offer insightful criticism.  Either way, reviews here are really important.  So, as a performer, you can't help but think about them, and you can't help but bring them up in conversation, and it all gets downright exhausting after a while.  We did get a glowing review from Uptown Magazine, and a hateful one from CBC, but frankly, I've seen a lot of the other shows they didn't like, and I think we're in good company.  And now, I'm going to try not to think about them.
