Well Saint Joan has come and gone. While the houses were not as large as we might have liked, I think everyone involved was very happy with our receptive audiences and positive critical feedback and are all excited for Theatre by the River's next show, Habitat. Currently our funding is up in the air, so while we hope to do the show in October, nothing has been set in stone.

So, with Saint Joan out of the way, what is next? Why, it's the WINNIPEG FRINGE FESTIVAL! As per usual, I'm working myself off my feet, with two shows this year: Joseph Aragon's Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare and my own brand-spanking-new one man show, Life in a Box. Bloodless will be playing at Manitoba Theatre for Young People, while Life in a Box is playing at the Conservatory.  For more info, check out the project links over to the side. As well, I've recently been accepted to the Edmonton Fringe Festival next month, where Life in a Box will perform at Planet ZE- Again, I've updated the project page to include all the details. What can I say, I'm super excited to take the show on the road!

Last but not least (and chronologically, first!) I should throw a shout out to the Attic Players in Calgary, who are performing Identity.com, my two-hander about love in the digital age for Ignition Theatre's inaugural Bohemian Rhapsody Festival in Red Deer Alberta from July 8th-11th. Check out the Attic Players on facebook for more info. 

Well, that's all for now. See you at the Fringe!

Hey folks: St. Joan opens this Thursday- Call 770-0093 to reserve tickets! The show is going great and will be great times. If you want more info, check out the project page for it. Actually, the information for my upcoming Fringe plays has also been loaded, so check that out as well. Hope to see you all at the theatre!

Woah, it's been quite a while since I've posted here, which is not an indication of lack of work, but rather the opposite. Over the past little while I've filmed commercials for Breakfast Television, Apprenticeship Manitoba and an anti-drunk driving campeign, as well as done the prep work for what is coming up now: Theatre by the River is producing George Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan, which I will be acting in, as well as two upcoming Fringe plays: My own "Life In a Box" and Joseph Aragon's new musical "Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare". Anyway, I'm just catching you up: More information soon!

So, another Winnipeg Fringe draw has come and gone and once again, Stupid Gumball Dispenser productions has been successfully drawn. This means that my newest one man show, Life in a Box will premiere this July in Winnipeg. However, I've also entered into the Edmonton Fringe and the Victoria Fringe- I'm currently sitting on the waiting list for both. My hope is that things will work out and I'll be touring this year, but I guess we'll have to see what shakes out in the next few months.

Also, I have no idea why the font sizes are all wonky. Lord if I only knew.

The wait is over! I can finally cross "be in a video game" off my life list. Whoo!

For those of you interested, a while ago I did some voice over work for a project called The Book of Legends for a Canadian casual games company called Gogii Games. The project was a lot of fun, working with Paul at Dacapo Productions as well as fellow Winnipeg actor Melanie Dahling.

If you're interested in trying out the game, you can click on the link here to download a free hour-long trial. It's a pretty simple affair, a Hidden Object game (think Where's Waldo or Eye Spy on your computer) but I think the whole project is a pretty decent package. Although apparently my voice acting is annoying, if the user reveiws on Gamezeebo are to be belived.

(One annoying thing- After finishing the game, there are no credits. Obviously I'd like to see my work credited, but it's also a shame for the many other people involved in the creation of the game. Really? No credits at all?)
