Ah, Toronto.. and a SURPRISE HOLY CRAP!

Hi friends!

The Toronto Improv Festival was great. Generous awesome crowd, generous awesome organizers. We appeared, did a show in a lovely giant blackbox theater, got our first non-alcoholic suggestion (which was lovely!), reunited with the excellent Meghan Wolff (who rocked it), secured crepes, and then walked back to our hotel, dodging mummies and drunk Power Rangers. Canada believes in Halloween. :)

ANNOUNCEMENT! HOLY CRAP!

Mike Doughty will be our Armando for a special performance at HUGE Theater.

If you're not sure who Mike Doughty is, think former Soul Coughing front man, amazing solo artist, writer, storyteller and good god. (Also think me listening obsessively, between the years 1995 and.. 2010? I've hung out with this guy's voice a lot.)

If you're not sure what an Armando is, don't worry: it just means that he's going to tell stories (!!! and he's an excellent storyteller), and then we shall improvise inspired by said stories.

If you're not sure what HUGE is, what better time to check it out, indeed? :)

Am I excited? Indeedy do. So very.

Armando Night featuring Mike Doughty.

One final review, and..

Ohh! The closing of "Eurydice" was too short, too short.. lovely audience, lovely cast, lovely crew, lovely all!

One final review from TCDaily Planet. "Walking Shadow’s production provides the audience with a fitting showcase for this intensely personal and poetic script." and "Scott’s facial impressions are especially noteworthy." Whoohoo! So lovely! Many thanks to all!

And reviews!

Fancy!

Star Tribune... So thanks to Walking Shadow for holding this exquisite jewel to the light with exceptional care and affection. It is that rarest of things: a sad joy." oh!

Aisle Say Twin Cities... "Bryan Grosso, Bethany Peters, and Jen Scott's trio of stones serves as a perfect anchor to this floating world: both comic and repellent, they embody the underworld’s imposed silence and suppressed thought.) ... It is a tribute to the Walking Shadow’s courage and ability that they have chosen such a challenging play and have staged it beautifully."

CityPages was nice, but thought we could have done better.

And MPR wonders "What did you think?"

Pretty happy. Yea! :) 

We've opened!

Creepy creepy stones.
