BWW Review: ZORRO: FAMILY CODE Slays at Alberta Theatre Projects
by Vicki Trask - December 04, 2018
Zorro is the original swashbuckling hero who always does the right thing and adheres to a personal code that drives him to help those in need. His tales have the same familiar things: the black mask to hide his face, the signature "Z" slashed across the surface, and the overwhelming balance of family and duty. Alberta Theatre Projects has followed in the footsteps of the great Zorro adventures that came before, and asked the question: what next?

BWW Review: Knowing is Only HALF THE BATTLE with DIY and Sage Theatre Companies
by Vicki Trask - November 03, 2018
You step into a small, dark room devoid of sound, and the only light is illuminating your path to your seat as you enter the Motel Theatre at the Arts Commons (one of my favourite places to be because there is a theatre around every corner). The dim lights go black and suddenly there is a man standing at the end of the room. Well, two men actually. Sharing the body of playwright and actor Owen Bishop.

BWW Review: Happy Days Are Here Again as BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL Comes To Calgary
by Vicki Trask - November 01, 2018
There is a reason bio-musicals and jukebox tales are so popular. There is a nostalgia and comfort in knowing the music and the people that allows an audience to give themselves over to the magic of theatre. I've found audiences more susceptible to suspension of disbelief if there is an element of the familiar - like an historical figure or famous artist. It then becomes the task of the production to take that malleable group and create a story with meaning.
