Projects, projects, projects....

Thanks to all of you who came out to see "Sweeney Todd". The cast, crew and orchestra had a great time, and we were all pleased to be able to share it with so many people.

Now that I remember how to play the violin, I will be continuing to do so for the next couple of months. I will be playing in the orchestra for Festival Place's production on "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". This is a great, fun show for families and people of all ages. Details at www.festivalplace.ab.ca.

The new year brings lots of excitement:

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change is ELOPE's spring production, and I am thrilled to be working as Musical Director on this show. It is a delightful show about relationships -- the good, the bad and the embarassing! The show is full of great songs, and should be very entertaining. Audition details will be available here later.

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is Walterdale's summer show. Auditions for this show will be held in April, and it needs a big cast -- lots of great music for adults of all ages.

Give Peas a Chance is the 6th appearance by the Peas -- Judy McFerran, Timothy Anderson, and me at the piano (and occasionally singing!). We will be in a new venue, and will bring some fantastic new tunes. Performs in April; full details soon.

In the meantime, make sure you check out some excellent theatre in the greater Edmonton area, including "Oleana" at Festival Place, "Steel Magnolias" at Horizon Stage, and "Lend Me a Tenor" at Walterdale Theatre.
