In today's program, I interviewed the charming story-teller / poet / novelist / tour-guide turned Fringe performer Lisa Pasold about her show Breakfast in Vegas. While the personal history that brought her to our festival is interesting, I think the most intriguing aspect of her show (which I've now seen) is that it was explicitly written for the Saskatoon Fringe.
Next, I aired a clip from Jon Lachlan Stewart's Big Shot. I've yet to see this show, but have heard nothing but raves from my fellow reviewers, so it is high up on my list.
Following that, you'll hear an interview with Emmelia Gordon and Pippa Mackie from The Progressive Polygamists. Once again, I've yet to see this show, but the buzz has been quite positive and it is apparently selling extremely well. Buy your tickets early!
Finally, the program concludes with a selection from Melanie Gall's The Sparrow and the Mouse - an exploration of the early life of Edith Piaf through her music. Gall's powerful voice (an asset developed through her extensive operatic training) is an excellent fit for Piaf's challenging arrangements.
