Feature:
- The second week of the latest TheatreUNB production is upon us, so I thought it would be a good idea to remind you of the kind of strange, wonderful plays await you! We return to my chat with UNB Theatre Program Director (and grand Poobah of Theatre in Fredericton!) Len Falkenstein and two of his student/actors Mary Walker and Henry Hatch. The second part of the theatre productions start on Wednesday and run until Friday, and the opportunity to (re-)watch all of the plays in your own order and at your own place is available on Saturday and Sunday.
- Since it’s Jazz Appreciation Month, I’m continuing to bring more stuff that swings me to the show. This time, a true classic, Dave Brubeck‘s Take Five, and the local band-in-a-bus Stephen Lewis with the song Have Some Fun from his album Peanut Butter and Jam. Check out Steven Lewis’ Big Fun Duo at The Cap this weekend!
