Love a summer Thurs matinee to catch up with DraytonEntertainment Jesus Christ Superstar. Can’t miss Robert Markus as Jesus, Emily Lukasik as Mary, Justin Bacchus as Judas, etc, dir by David Rogers. Then back to HFTco for three more shows tonight. That’s a good July day!

Love having the chance to catch two Canadian shows in Toronto before they travel to @EdFringe - Sam Kruger & S E Grummett’s SLUGS (Summerhall) and Emily Jeffers’ The Mathemagician (PBH’s Free Fringe PBH's Free Fringe).

Bit of FOMO getting reports from @EdFringe as Red Like Fruit and Confessions of a Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl join about 50 Canadian shows & over 3,400 total. Can't wait to join them from Aug 13-25! If you're curious about the Canadian shows in Edinburgh: issuu.com/thelistltd/doc…

Really feels like a particularly sad last few weeks for Canadian theatre, with the loss of yet another great artist that affected so many people, on stage and off. Rest in peace Joe Ziegler. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. 📸 Cylla von Tiedemann
