The Lunchbox Interviews: Britany Sparrow (“Here Without You”, “Gary”) and Ryan Griffith (TNB, Next Folding Theatre Company)

Posted on 2014-11-06 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

I am constantly amazed by the level and breadth of artistic talent in and around this city. We often get a chance to celebrate the great music, from regular performances at venues like The Capital Complex, The Cellar and The Playhouse. This weekend, we celebrate drama, both in cinema and in theatre. Opening today are two

The Lunchbox Interview: Chuck Bowie, Author

Posted on 2014-11-04 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

It’s November, and for a great many people around the world, it’s time to write. NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month is a challenge to produce a novel-length work (50,000 words) in the month of November. If you do the math, that’s about 1,500 words a day! Not everybody can write that fast. Most, like my

The Lunchbox Interviews: Jack Ward, Jenn Russell

Posted on 2014-10-31 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

I have always loved stories, whether they are in a book, spoken aloud, acted on stage or screened on TV or the movies. One of my favourite ways to experience them is acted in audio form, what is often called audio drama. This past Thursday was World Audio Drama Day, an expansion of the National Audio Drama Day,

The Lunchbox Double Interview: White Ribbon & Brain Tumour Foundation

Posted on 2014-10-30 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

The world is a complicated place — or is it? Fundamentally, love and kindness — as well as knowledge and communication — make the world a better place. That is very evident in the pair of interviews I had today. First, Jennifer Richard and Barry MacKnight join me to talk about the White Ribbon Campaign,

The Lunchbox: Interview about Theatre UNB’s “Les Belles-soeurs”

Posted on 2014-10-29 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

I love good theatre. It moves you in a way that a movie can’t touch, engages you like a book made manifest. It transcends language and place, yet can be just as rooted in it. Les Belles-soeurs is a celebrated French play by Quebec playwright Michel Tremblay. Theatre UNB, under the direction and leadership of

The Lunchbox: Dr. Krista Wilkins, Cancer Researcher

Posted on 2014-10-24 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Almost everyone knows someone who has gone through cancer — and many people have gone through it themselves. Worse yet, a lot of people have to endure the process multiple times. But how much do we know about that experience? Dr Krista Wilkins is no stranger to cancer herself, having battled and triumphed over the disease. It

The Lunchbox: East Coast Love Story

Posted on 2014-10-17 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Some people just radiate togetherness and happiness. That’s my immediate sense from meeting the members of East Coast Love Story, a Moncton-based band currently visiting Fredericton to take in the MusicNB Festival. These guys aren’t just a band — they’re friends, housemates and sincerely cool cats. Join me as I do my own style of

We are a country of trees. They surround us; they have allowed us to build houses, mills, factories. They heat our homes and are a sturdy base for furniture. They are the substance of art, and celebration, and peace. There is a special kind of person, however, who can chop a tree, saw a log, climb

We all struggle with our own problems. But there is hope. There is help. We can learn what we need to cope, and find the things which inspire us, which help us to see the world more clearly. In the case of my guest, Keith Lyon, it was writing. Keith struggled with mental illness, but through lots

The Lunchbox: Interview: Martin Parnell for Right To Play

Posted on 2014-10-07 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

It’s a kid’s right to play. This is something that many people take for granted. Yet, in many parts of the world, sports and energetic play are not available, often through poverty. Martin Parnell saw that first hand, on a bike tour through Africa. “I can help,” he said to himself, and set out to

I am a man. That’s one of the statements I use to identify myself. What exactly that means, however, is a lifelong journey that I’m only in the middle of, and probably won’t have a final report by the time I’m done. Some things seem to hold universal, however, and the objective of the upcoming

The Lunchbox: Interview: Engineers Without Borders UNB

Posted on 2014-09-18 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

The concept of borders is somewhat artificial; the lines on a map are arbitrary, representing historical politics more than the on-the-ground reality of life. Certainly, problems and concerns and the regularity of human life goes far beyond these invisible distinctions of place. One of the great consequences of people realizing this is the number of
