A postcard

I finally managed to have a moment to get the photos off my camera. I didn't really take very many as I was so busy just being there.
But I thought I would share a few visuals of my time in Montreal.















The wardrobe shop with a costume for Brighella underway. You can see the trial muslin sleeve.  We just had barely enough fabric so I didn't want to make decisions that would be unchangeable.

A pattern for a coat pinned on the stand. The eighteenth century seems to be stalking me lately. This was a pattern for Lelio, the Liar himself.
The view from my window. At night the cross is illuminated. 















One of Montreal's iconic exterior staircases.

Architecture at McGill university and a light installation outdoors at Place des Arts.


I had such a great time. I went to the Défilé du Père Noël, the Musée des Beaux Arts, a great Bach Magnificat and the François Barbeau exhibit at the University of Montreal, among many other things.
Ahhh, well, it is good to go away and experience new things, meet and work with new people but also good to get home too.
Bonne soirée, a bientôt!

Back home

Je suis revenu a la maison!
I had such a wonderful time in Montreal, I was very busy building the show but I had time to walk, walk, walk around the city and go to museums and visit with friends too.

The time went by so quickly and now here I am almost halfway through December with no Christmas preparation yet and the next work season is looming in the very near future.

Before I get reorganized here at home I want to encourage any of you who are in Montreal, or will be this week, to
GO and see the show at the National Theatre School. It is only $9.00 per ticket, and the bigger the audience, the better.

Seeing these young actors in this show was such a breath of fresh air to me. I hope you think so too.
