This deserves its own entry

So one of my trainers at the gym, Aaron, is a theatre guy. I didn't know this until yesterday. He acts and directs in the Montreal Shakespeare Theatre Company which does adaptations of Shakespeare for elementary and high schools.

More importantly, he and his other troupe are performing this year in Cobra: The Musical during the Montreal Fringe Festival. I'm definitely going to see this, even if I'm planning on giving the G.I. Joe movie a miss because it looks dreadful. Aaron plays Cobra Commander. :D

The dates are June 12, 14, 16, 20 and 21st (that one's a matinee). [livejournal.com profile] luvenditti's play is on June 12, so that's a no-go, but is anyone interested in any of the other days to go with me? Tickets are $11.00.


:::ETA:::

It's a small world! Bruce, the guy who played the Lion part of my Chimera at Capricornucopia, is also in Cobra: The Musical. I just saw him on the cast page.

I get back on the 17th, so what about the 20th or 21st?

I'll have to double-check my work schedule, to make sure I'm not working, but tentatively that sounds like a plan. :)

Hey, I think I saw your trainer as Puck in the Shakespeare In The Park production of "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream" a few years ago!

Y'know, I think you might be right! I saw that production too. I'll have to ask him on Monday.

I'm sorry. I'll go change it to a more appropriate one. ;)

No good. Now your icon just makes me want Paul Gross ;)

M'love Jay is playing Dr. Mindbender.

I'll be at all the performances, so I'd be happy to go with you whenever you are free.

Having seen Cobra: The Musical (if it is indeed the same production) and the previews for GIJoe, I can safely scream: GO TO THE MUSICAL!!!

Oh but wear rubber pants, 'cause you're gonna pee yourself laughing.

I've been meaning to see this. Let me know when the group goes and I will join you if my schedule permits it.
