- If you’re interested in Rosemary Rowe’s The Good Bride, presented by Northern Light Theatre – I’ve got some good news for you! There was a ton of content about the show put out this past week:
- Speaking of the What It Is podcast, I’m so happy that Karen interviewed Taylor and Brian – two-thirds of the team behind the podcast. Check out the Seen and Heard YEG podcast to hear all about the behind-the-scenes of the show.
- Not only did Northern Light Theatre open their first show of the season last week, they also celebrated their 40th anniversary, which Liz wrote about in the Journal. It’s an interesting read about “the spirited little theatre”.
- Kristen’s been busy writing – check out her thoughts on The Hothouse Prince and Walterdale’s Ravenscroft & L’Uni Théâtre’s Les Blues des Oubliées.
- Also busy writing & vlogging is the University of Alberta Drama Department’s online magazine – Curious Arts. Check out their videos and blogs about Beyond Therapy.
- The Varscona’s Prizeo raffle brought in $131,814 towards the rebuild of the Varscona! Congrats to Jennifer Mills who won lunch with Nathan Fillion. Read more about the raffle and upcoming capital campaign in the Varscona’s newsletter.
