I walk up a red carpet to get to work. How wicked is that?
Last night, my first (of many) forays into the world of professional acting began with the opening of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Rabbit Hole at The Gladstone. I am incredibly proud of this show. We have a solid cast, an amazing director, an incredible set, and a Pulitzer Prize winning script.
Unfortunately, it’s a drama and that seems to scare people away.
You see, the show is about a couple moving on with their lives after the death of their four year old son. This is a far cry from the farce which launched the season at The Gladstone, but I’m here to tell you that it’s not all death and depression. There some incredible moments of humour (brought on mostly by yours truly) throughout that play that really lightens the mood and grounds everything even more so into reality. Because life can be silly at times.
It is my fondest wish that everyone reading this note will take the time to check out the play. This show will shake something inside of you and, trust me, you will come out a better person for it.
The Gladstone is currently offering a long-weekend special on admission. All seats are $25 taxes included (as opposed to the usual $33.50 and $26.80 plus tax) for the shows taking place this Friday (tonight) and Saturday (both the matinee and evening performances).
Shows start at 8:00 pm Tuesday to Saturday, with matinees at 2:30 pm on Saturdays and Sundays (no show on Thanksgiving Sunday) until October 25th.
To reserve your spot, please call the box office at 613-233-4523.
I look forward to seeing you there!
