So I'm late in the October keeping you up to date in theatre reviews and previews.
But here we are.

I reviewed the Soulocentric Showcase, as part of the Soulocentric Festival.

Soulocentric features creative layers.
This showcase featured different artists in different mediums. There were some great and some not so great.

Downstage Theatre began their season with a poignant piece from a First Nations perspective. I got to chat with artistic director Simon Mallett. Downstage Theatre explores social ramifications through First Nation perspective.

Theatre Calgary opened their season with To Kill A Mockingbird. There were some who really loved it, and some that didn't. Here is my take.

Spark, as part of the Fluid Festival was similar to the Soulocentric Festival in that it consisted of several different pieces in one performance. Sparking Creativity

Ronnie Burkett was back in town! He came to Alberta Theatre Projects. His newest work is pretty dark and totally worth it. The world has gone to the dogs in Penny Plain

Shantala Shivalingappa came for the Fluid Festival. Again, not a strong review due to the whole dance thing. But hopefully it's getting better. Shantala Shivalingappa Brings Namasya to the Fluid Festival

And last but not least, I got to interview Shane Koyczan. Seriously. Cool.
He write backwards, and will be back in February. Getting down with Shane Koyczan - The poet opens up about new work and his creative process
