I know, I know, it’s Harvey, Harvey, Harvey all the time — or at least it seems that way! Now a holdover of two weeks is planned, moving our closing date into the middle of November. Our play is obviously attracting a wider and wider audience — and with sometimes surprising results.
Recently I took part in a concert for Music Niagara, the local music festival winding up its 2010 concerts this week.
Four actors from The Shaw have each done a Monday night concert on ‘Schumann and his Circle,’ and this has given us the opportunity to mix and mingle with accomplished artists from other disciplines. Read the rest of this entry »

When I’m asked what it’s like playing in such a successful comedy as Harvey, my answer often is that it reminds me of the summer stock shows of my youth.
As an impressionable 13-year-old , I performed in Peterborough and Port Carling with The Straw Hat Players in a series of plays with such actors as Nancy Kerr (later to be a Shaw Festival stalwart) and young Timothy Findley. I was thrilled by the gales of laughter that greeted our comedies. Happy vacationers from the Muskoka or Kawartha lodges and cottages would come out after supper to enjoy these plays as their summer entertainment. On certain days our audience reactions in Harvey remind me of that completely pure enjoyment, an absolutely free, unchecked laughter that sometimes seems to be becoming less frequent in daily life.

The actors are full into things here at the Festival, gearing up for the 2010 season. We’ve moved back to the beautiful Niagara on the Lake from afar and have started rehearsals. This summer I’ll be playing Sam (among a plethora of other characters) in One Touch of Venus by Weill, Nash & Perelman, as well as Nigel (again, among a plethora of characters) in Caryl Churchill’s Serious Money.
