What a contrast from Montreal!
Ottawa citizens love the Fringe. And the audiences laugh. And cry.
We're having a great time playing to large houses (60+), and the theatre is a real theatre, with real curtains and a real stage floor with real seats.
Not that the experience in Montreal wasn't good - it was great to get the show up there. But Ottawa feels like manna is falling from heaven after a drought.
It's our last weekend, and people keep telling us, "You're going to win Best of Venue." We'll see. I never count my chickens... But it would be great to win....
The capital of Canada - not just a government town. Also a patron of independent theatre.
Oh, and before I fall asleep, a lovely young woman gave Gill and me praise for our acting talents, and said that Crude Love is the only show of 20 she saw that could be in a real theatre, like the Tarragon in Toronto. Music to my ears!
