They're coming, and sooner rather than later. Thanks for patience!

Well, it has been a while now since I've posted here. I've had quite a few things keeping me busy since returning from Edmonton. Along with the whole getting-my-life-back-in-order thing, I've been lucky enough to have plenty of small gigs thrown my way. I did a reading of a fantastic play "Next Fall" for Manitoba Theatre Center, surrounded by many great local actors. daCapo have been kind enough to throw various voice acting gigs my way, and now I have a reading coming up for FemFest- The info is all posted over in the projects sidebar. 

Quick aside: in case you're interested, my drunk driving commecial can still be found over yonder.

The Edmonton Fringe continues, and the first review for Life in a Box is in: Four Stars from Vue Magazine! What a fantastic way to start a festival. I had a wonderful opening house: Hopefully that will carry on to my following performances!

I did not print programs for my run in Edmonton, mainly to cut costs, but that unfortunately leaves many people without the proper thanks. So, if you've seen the show in Edmonton and want to know who deserve some extra kudos according to me-

Matthew Tenbruggencate, for his direction, patience and friendship.

James Firby for his fantastic (and quick!) poster designs.

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church for some last minute rehearsal space.

Gay Maddin and Gerry Gallant, my fantastic billets and partial set providers.

Jennifer Hirose, Derek Leenhouts, Dora Carroll, Kathryn Ball,  George McRobb, Alan MacKenzie and Audra Leosky for support, help and labour. You guys rule.

My fantastic fellow touring artists: Anne, Jayson, Hanna, Becky, Rob, Ryan, Amy and many many more- We're in this together and I couldn't ask for better partners in crime.

Finally, my family and friends, without whom I might be able to do all this, but would be far too lonely doing so. Love you all.

 Finally, the Edmonton Fringe Festival is here! I'm in Edmonton right now, starting my exhaustive publicity campeign in efforts to drum up interest in my production of "Life in a Box". If you're here because of any of that, please find more info at the projects link on the right.

For this year's festival I'll be doing two things in case you want to join me on my Edmonton Fringe Adventures. I'll be blogging on my personal blog, as well as twittering with @BrentHirose. Feel free to follow either one and join my challenges and triumphs!

Happy Fringing!

The Winnipeg Fringe is almost at a close: Today there is a 9:15 performance of Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare and tomorrow again at 2:30, along with the final performace of Life in a Box at 8pm! Please come on down and finish off the festival right!
