On May 14 there is a fundraiser for the Toronto Burlesque festival, but they’re short one balloon girl! Help is needed urgently!
Okay, well, that might have been a bit melodramatic, but there’s a group of people in need, and maybe you know someone who can help.
Here are the details from Canadian Wolfman on Facebook:

I got to go to another CrossCurrents show last night. My Granny The Goldfish is the most recent offering of playwright Anosh Irani. This public reading was a delight to watch. I’d call this play a comedy with substance. But no matter what you call it, it was an evening of much laughter and great fun.

CrossCurrents, which plays at Factory Theatre, gives an audience an opportunity to glimpse what they rarely – the process of building a play. I love having that opportunity.
Obviously it doesn’t take too much to get me excited about theatre, but CrossCurrents gets me *very* excited about theatre. But I should get onto the specific show, perhaps I’ll find some time during a baby-nap to write about CrossCurrents later.

For those of you that have not had enough swearing and jaded outlooks on humanity (that is to say, those of you who haven’t had enough David Mamet in your life) it looks like there’s still time!
From the press release:
Albert Schultz, Founding Artistic Director of Soulpepper Theatre Company, today announced the extension of the company’s production of Glengarry Glen Ross, David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
Soulpepper’s production was originally scheduled to close on May 9, but due to popular demand and sold-out performances, Glengarry Glen Ross is extended until May 16.
In Mamet’s snapshot of the cut-throat world of real estate, a group of salesmen scramble to lie, cheat and steal their way to the top. In this desperate game of survival, insults and accusations fly in the rhythmic, colloquial style that is Mamet’s signature.

Glengarry Glen Ross runs until May 16 at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, located at 55 Mill Street, Building 49, in the Distillery Historic District. Tickets range from $28 – $68 and are available by calling the Young Centre box office at 416.866.8666 or by visiting soulpepper.ca.
Although there isn’t a Mooney on Theatre review of the production yet, there are many many many reviews out there. The links to the reviews are below, so check them out and see if this show’s for you.

So, we’re looking for writers here at Mooney on Theatre.
All experience levels welcome, and experience with theatre is not necessary (in fact, I’d love to have someone who never goes to the theatre and doesn’t know anything about it – I think that would be a great perspective to have)
If you’re interested or know anyone who might be please email me at megan@mooneyontheatre.com with ‘interested in writing for you’ in the subject line.
Spread the word!
