I Know It's Been A Long Time...

How many excuses can I make?

Everytime I log into suite101.com, I see the blogs I have written over the past few months, and I know that it's about time for me to write a new one. So here is a new one - I hope you like it.

The last couple of months have been endlessly busy, and now that the new theatre season has arrived, it's even busier. What I'm happy about though is that there seem to be an endless assortment of great shows going on in Toronto (my hometown), and there seems to be a lot of buzz circulating about moderntheatre.suite101.com. I'm happy that you're here to read my articles, reviews, and even these random blogs.

After a frenzied few weeks, things are on the verge of calming down, and I know it's only a matter of time before the start up again. That's the nature of the work I'm in. I accepted that a long time ago, and I know that I don't HAVE to see everything that comes across my desk. Someone once asked me why I see so much theatre. The easy answer is "I love it". It's true. I do love it. I love going to the theatre, meeting people, talking with people, and more times than naught, I go alone, just to spend some quality time with my mistress - the theatre. I do admit though that it's great to see theatre with friends, as it spawns a lot of insightful and thought prevoking conversations afterwards.

What am I most excited for in the coming months? New productions of Songs For A New World, Elegies, Thom Pain (Based On Nothing) and Pippin. These are all shows I've read and listened to over the years, and I think it's going to be great to see them up on stage for the first time. I'm excited. Can I say that? Well I just did.

Stay tuned, keep reading, and thanks for making my time with suite101.com really wonderful.

Until Next Time,

Mike
