Even though the TV show has been cancelled, you can check out my archived page on CBC's "ZeD" website: http://zed.cbc.ca/go?user_id=20849&c=contentPage (You'll have to copy and paste the URL.)
Now that the Fringe is over and I'm focussing on teaching English as a Second Language (at the Saskatoon Open Door Society), I realize how lucky I am that I love my "day job". Many people in the arts have jobs they hate to support themselves financially.

It's hard to believe that the Fringe is over, considering how much time and energy we spent preparing our production. I was very pleased with audience responses but was disappointed that we (and many other Fringe shows) didn't get reviewed by The Star Phoenix or CBC Radio. However, we got a positive review in Planet S. I wish that more people had been able to see the show, but those that did really enjoyed it, which is--I guess--what really counts!

I'm a member of the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre and the Saskatoon Writers' Coop. I was a member of Twenty-Fifth Street Theatre's (now defunct) Playwrights Unit. My plays (short, one-act and full-length) have been performed at Regina's Globe Theatre (two plays), Saskatoon's Twenty-Fifth Street Theatre,the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre's Spring Festival of New Plays (one play in Regina and another in Saskatoon), the Saskatoon Fringe Theatre Festival (several plays) and the Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival. Comic monologues that I've written have appeared on CBC Radio and in "2000% Cracked Wheat" (an anthology of prairie humour published by Coteau Books in 2000). I have a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in English and Drama, and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language (CERTESL). In addition to writing, I have a lot of experience in acting and directing.
