  • What's on your mind?

    Earlier today, I recorded for an art project with a student in the Queen’s film department. I’m not going to give up too much, since it’s going to be on display in mid-February. For the project, I had to sit in a room by myself and a camera recorded me for fifteen straight minutes, and…

  • FAMINE

    If you’re in and around Kingston in the coming weeks, be sure to check out Famine, the show I’m producing for Single Thread Theatre Company. It’s been one of the reasons why this blog has been so quiet, and I can say that it was well worth it. The show run is November 14th –…
