Today, the Fringe was officially launched. Tickets are now on sale for performances running from June 17th to the 27th. Forgive me if this sounds like an advertisement. It’s not meant to be. …though business-Natalie can’t help but spread the word as much as possible… I’ve been shaking all day. The excitement was almost unbearable. … Continue reading

Day 151 – Decisions, decisions… (a.k.a. choose my outfit for me!)
The longer I work for the Ottawa Fringe, the more I realise how decision-heavy my job is. I don’t do much of the work, but I do make plenty of decisions on what work needs to be done. And I’m also pretty good at deciding if I like something or not. My brain has been … Continue reading
Day 140 – R-E-S-P-E-C-T
I’ve said it many times before that a huge part of a theatre director’s job is casting. If it’s good, then the show is usually good too.

I am learning to embrace uncertainty, confusion and precedence. I am learning to take my time to look at decisions from all angles even if it means deciding to go a different direction. I am confident in my abilities. I embrace not always having the answers. I enjoy the rush I get watching the results … Continue reading

Woah! Where has the time gone? So much beauty has passed by and I haven’t had time to write about it all. So here goes… my last four days of beautiful discoveries. Day 50 – I had a moment when I was at work, when last week’s job-related tasks flashed before my eyes… Meetings with … Continue reading
Day 41 – Generations
Today’s beautiful moment is brought to you by the Ottawa Fringe Festival. I had a meeting today with two great guys. I’ll give you a hint: they’re both past Fringe Executive Producers and are both still highly involved in current Fringe activities. At one point, we were standing outside in the sunshine on Rideau street. … Continue reading
