Well, nine days into the 2009 Fringe Festival, I'm still going strong but gradually realizing that this particular roller-coaster ride is soon going to be over (boo!). Though it's been a huge time commitment (and though sleep deprivation is starting to take its toll), I have been looking forward to this assignment all year... and the festival has not disappointed. As I mention in today's show, I am tremendously grateful to everyone that made it possible: CFCR (for hiring me), SaskLotteries (for providing funding), 25th Street Theatre (for running the festival) and to the performers and creative personnel that I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the past week.
Sigh.
