Read for “Kosher Sexy”

I just did a reading as the main character, Jonathan, for Jonas Chernik and Sean Garrity’s new film entitled, “Kosher Sexy”. Jonas couldn’t make it out because his wife is due to have a baby plus he IS in Toronto. It was through Winnipeg Film Group’s new “Open Screen Door ” program where a draft of a feature film gets read once a month. What a great concept. Thanks Darcy Fehr and Cecilia Araneda.

I got the opportunity to read with some of the best in the city. A crew of great actors. Many who have not had the opportunity to connect with each other. There were people I knew but who never worked with me like: Read More

Open Prairie – Saskatchewan Tour

This was the best show of the tour we’ve had to date. We performed in Estevan, Biggar and Quill Lake, Saskatchewan. Working with David Dick, Colin Loat and Luke Friesen was fantastic. These guys were absolutely stellar. We did a lot more interaction with the audience on this tour. I wants asked a guy in the show: “Anyone like on the farm?” one guy piped up, “Yep, only 1 mile from town!”. “That’s great,” I said, “best of both worlds”. I took a moment to think about it then added, “..as long as the town’s still there.”

We got fantastic acclaim, 2 standing ovations from 3 shows, houses of over 200 people each night and InterVisceral Productions was able to make a profit out of the whole trip. Others don’t reallize a tour like this takes 2 years to plan. I don’t know where we’ll go next but I really feel it made a huge impact on those who watched. The Economist bit was worth spending an extra weekend to update.

Keep your eyes open, we may bring it back to Winnipeg for one more glorious show.
