Mini update!

Hello all!
It is exhaustion here in Montreal Fringe land for JP. Wednesday night we had an absolutely LOVELY audience of people who seemed to really enjoy the show, which helped us really enjoy doing the show.

I managed to catch "How to Solve an Existential Crisis". Jake Smith is a wonderful performer who engages the audience in his discoveries toward leading a satisfying life. I couldn't wait for him to pick up his guitar, and my only wish is that there was more music. I've been trying to catch the sold out "Jesus Jello". I will keep trying.

Tonight we are heading to Confabulation- the Fringe edition. I went to the first Confabulation last month, and it was a sweet evening of great people with dynamic stories to tell. Michelle will be telling a story about performance. I can't wait.

After that- a midnight show! We have no idea if people come to midnight shows at the Fringe. We've offered the incentive of a mini gin and tonic for the audience who show up.

Last night we did our two minute stint at The 13th Hour, and are very confused about how it went. Because it is an impossible play to describe in two minutes, because we'd already introduced a game that went over very well, we did go for the visual of the mess. One shower later and I'm still finding jello in my hair. As the queens of overanalyzing- we're still trying to figure out if it was a giant bomb, or if it was just a little two minutes that no one will remember/won't prevent them from seeing our show?

We have three performances left. The festival is drawing to a close. I am happy because I will be able to SLOW DOWN, but sad because that means having my amazing London women around me is also coming to an end. I have learned so much over the last two weeks- about collaboration, about developing a process, about my relationship with performance (acting?), and about writing.

Much love Montreal Fringe. To be continued!
