Megan loves being in the thick of all things theatre, but her ultimate goal is to promote theatre to the world of non-theatre people. It was the same when she was the theatre writer for blogTO, or the Fringe Correspondent for CBC Radio One‘s Here and Now, as it is as the founder of Mooney on Theatre. Her basic belief is that there is theatre/performance out there for everyone to love, they just need to find it. This is not to be confused with the idea that everyone should love theatre for theatre’s sake, in fact, as obsessed as she is with theatre, even *she* doesn’t love all types of theatre.
Deodar Productions is thrilled to be presenting Kipling’s Just So Stories as part of the 2009 Toronto Fringe Festival.

The Emergency Monologues is a storytelling adventure about being a Paramedic in downtown Toronto. In his own animated and energetic way, Morgan tells stories based on his years of EMS experience. You’ll hear about the gritty, ridiculous, bizarre and true side of the “emergencies” that don’t make the news. It’s hard to believe how hard you’ll laugh at stories about events that are so horrible, but comedy=tragedy+time. And after all, someone has to do it and better him than you.
The famed poet is penniless, miserable, and so uninspired he can barely write an advertising jingle! He could write again if only the woman he loves would return to him, but when she shows up with a surprising offer, Dante is forced to choose between abandoning the only good thing in his life and watching his one true love leave him forever.
