The Town Christmas Forgot, One More Time
It’s that time of year, again! The Town Christmas Forgot, (IMDB) a lovely little holiday Movie of the Week I did for Hallmark last year, starring Lauren Holly, Rick Roberts, Azer Greco, Lauren’s real life son, and me, is on air again. I’ve found the schedule for the W network here in Canada: you can catch it again on:
Monday Dec. 5th at 2 pm (EST),
Tuesday Dec. 6th at noon (EST),
Monday Dec. 12th at 2 pm (EST),
Tuesday Dec. 13th at 7 pm (EST),
Saturday Dec. 17th at noon (EST),
Wednesday Dec. 21st at 9 pm (EST).
I do believe it’s been airing in the US as well on Hallmark so perhaps that info is somewhere online, too. Woo hoo! It’s almost Christmas! And Hanukkah! And Solstice! And Kwanza! And Chrismakkuh!!!
Last Week For Imprints!!!
Photography by Michael Cooper
Our last three public shows of Imprints are this Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 pm- November 24-26th, 2011. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Another wonderful review from Lynn Slotkin at The Slotkin Letter you can read here.
Tickets are available online here or by calling Factory Theatre Box Office directly at (416) 504-9971.
More Great Reviews For Imprints!
We’ve received even more great reviews on the show so I”ll add two more here:
and Torontowide. Torontowide also includes a video clip from the show, one of the rather fabulous projection effects.
Jon Kaplan, of NOW Toronto, our free alternative weekly paper here in Toronto, interviewed me earlier in the rehearsal process and then reviewed Imprints quite favourably.
Wonderful review from Torontoist here. This picture, taken by Michael Cooper, is of Lily (me) and Had, played by Michael Spence, who is in the tree built by Ron Kennel, Cosette Derome, Conor Green and Kat Sandler.

Rehearsal Warm Up Video from Imprints
We begin each rehearsal with a physical warm up and move into the physical vocabulary specific to the show, some of which Theatre Gargantua has been developing for years, other moves, lifts, falls and holds that are developed collectively through the process. Take a look and get your tickets now.

Imprints Rehearsal with Theatre Gargantua
Rehearsal for Imprints with Theatre Gargantua
We’ve been in rehearsals now for two weeks with Imprints, and we’ll continue building the show for the next 3 weeks before we head into the space at Factory Theatre. Read up on the piece on TG’s website and follow along with their rehearsal blog. The picture above is myself with Conor Green working a scene under huge silks. Much fun.
Tickets are available online here.
My Babysitter’s A Vampire
I’m in the midst of shooting a fun gig on Teletoon’s wildly successful teen series, My Babysitter’s A Vampire. It’s being directed by the wonderful Kelly Harms, whose work as an actor I adored. Now that he’s directing tv and film, I bet everyone else will start snapping him up to helm their gigs, too. I play Mrs. Turner and I believe it’s episode 204. Apparently the series will air here in Canada in the new year but from what I’ve been told, it’s the most watched kid’s series in the US. The cast and crew are wonderful and the entire creative team is really fun to be working alongside. Go MBV!
