When not all the elements of a traditional production are present, things get stripped down to a more raw place. The focus is almost entirely on your voice, your instincts, and your ability to bring the material to life in a more intimate way. I had to trust that even the smallest decisions could still carry importance, and I wanted to challenge myself to approach things differently.

Having never attended a show at the Stage West Theatre here in Calgary, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. As a former performer for Jubilations Dinner Theatre, and a fan of Edmonton’s Mayfield Dinner Theatre, I was well versed in what the dinner theatre experience could be. Stage West finds a way to blend the silly, outrageous energy of a Jubilations show, with the more sophisticated, buffet-style dining experience of Mayfield. A nice balance and a great way to spend an evening with friends and loved ones.

First performed in 1990, Gasping is Ben Elton’s debut stage play, a sharp, satirical comedy that takes gleeful aim at corporate excess. It quickly became a hit thanks to its exaggerated, almost cartoon‑like depiction of the high‑powered world of big business.

K7 Media's global forecast identified a notable tonal shift in reality TV: audiences are moving away from strategy-heavy competition and gravitating toward emotionally grounded narratives centered on collaboration and interpersonal stakes.

Every time I get invited to the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts to see one of their Theatre for Young Audiences productions, my inner child starts bouncing with anticipation. The moment the lights dim, I find myself completely immersed in the story unfolding onstage, so much so that I forget I am well past the recommended age…by a lot.

FADE IN: The open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed...again. The lead actors- theatre and film vet Robert Shaw and up-and-coming Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider- are crammed into a too-small boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic... if it doesn’t sink them all... Words...pulled directly from Director David Jenkins most recent Facebook post, promoting Jobsite Theater’s most recently launched production of Ian Shaw’s The Shark is Broken.
