HitG 023: Players and Pints
Roleplaying games are often a private event, a story created for the entertainment of its players and not an audience. But improv is an inherently public event, so combining the two makes for lessons that both can learn.
In this episode, we’re talking to Jean-Michel Cliche and Tilley Jackson from Players and Pints, a live, improv-based Dungeons & Dragons game. Jean-Michel is the DM, and Tilley is one of the players (Emmeline the Bard). They’re wrapping up their live performances on May 6, but they have also podcasted all the episodes so far.

The Lunchbox Interview: Natasha MacLellan (TNB’s Artistic Director)
Theatre represents a unique opportunity to tell stories, from small to large from here and away, and it takes unique people to make that vision come to reality.
My guest today is Natasha MacLellan, the Artistic Director for Theatre New Brunswick (TNB). She jumped into the roll right away after arriving in Fredericton in November of last year, and has an enthusiasm for theatre that is on display in the slate of plays she’s selected for the company’s 2019-2020 season. She joined me to talk theatre passion, her extensive background in theatre, and her hopes for the new season. Follow the company on Facebook or Twitter as well to keep up-to-the-minute on plays, workshops and ongoing activities with TNB.

HitG 020: CAiNE
LARPing (or Live Action Role Playing) is a style of gaming where character sheets are less important than acting your character in the moment, and where staying in character is more important than strategic placement on a map.
Recently, Fredericton hosted the 2019 national gathering of CAiNE, the LARPing community based around the World Of Darkness games, including Vampire, Werewolf, Mage and Changeling. At this convention, players from numerous groups local to places across the country wove their stories together in to one epic conclusion.
We’re joined by several players from all over Canada (and from the UK) who converged in Fredericton to play for the weekend.

The Lunchbox Interview: Scott Shannon (Nasty Shadows presents A Story Jones)
Theatre has its traditions, and one of it’s traditions is to try to change everything about theatre.
My guest today is Scott Shannon, co-founder of Nasty Shadows Theatre Company, and writer/director/actor of their upcoming production A Story Jones. He joins me to talk about how this play got started as a tribute, how it has grown collaboratively, and how he seeks to try to be a very different kind of theatre company.
A Story Jones opens at 7:30pm on May 1 at Memorial Hall on UNB Campus, and is staged for only two days before moving on to Saint John and Moncton. Each performance has a deliberately limited 20 seats, so be sure to get your ticket right away.

The Lunchbox Interview: Jared Durelle (Time With Water Defenders)
We must live together on this world in order to live in this world; that means honouring the present, understanding the past, and respecting each other.
Jared Durelle returns to the show to tell us about his experiences visiting the indigenous group in Nova Scotia protesting the Atcon Gas processing plant. He shares some of the history of the agreements in the area, the fears of the pollution that could damage the Shubenacadie River, and the three different kinds of reactions he received from different groups in the area: good, bad and suspicious.

The Lunchbox Interview: Corinski & Nate (#SWIPERS)
What is theatre when you don’t know anything about it? Well, you’re just going to have to watch it to find out!
My guests today are Corinski (playwright, director) and Nate (script supervisor, actor). Corinski has written a new play called #SWIPERS which is about.. Well, let’s just say that it starts by being a modern rom-com, and then becomes.. something. Listen as we reveal nothing of the mystery of this experimental play, aside from the fact that it may — or may not — be experimental.
And then Star Wars is mixed in.. somehow.
#SWIPERS opens May 2nd and runs at 7:30pm nightly until May 4th at the Black Box Theatre at STU.

The Lunchbox Interview: Christine, Brett & missing pets
Pets are often more than just furniture or artwork on display: they are a part of our family.
My guest today is Christine (with silent partner Brett). After a series of unfortunate events, they ended up losing their four pets to a local SPCA and have had difficulty getting them back. One of their four animals has been returned, their dog, but the three cats have already been released to different households. Christine shares us the nature of her furry friends and makes an appeal to have them returned.
If you are one of the adoptive families and wish to contact Christine and Brett about the cats, reach out to them via their Facebook page.
