Creating a new musical

by Sean McQuaid

Success has many fathers. For me, that old saying evokes Anne of Green Gables – the Musical where nearly the entire population of Avonlea takes credit for Anne’s accomplishments. The same adage applies less debatably to Anne’s long-gestating stage sister Evangeline, in which an interprovincial extended family of theatre professionals are helping give birth to one o

Getting the Pointe
Getting the Pointe
Profile: Carol Bellamy

by Jane Ledwell

Nothing is more exciting for a young ballet dancer than going up en pointe—finally dancing on the tips of the toes in elegance and grace. Nothing is more important to achieving this milestone than properly fitted pointe shoes. And no one on Prince Edward Island has fitted more young dancers with shoes than Carol Bellamy of Demi-Pointe dance shop.

“Your feet are i

Shoulda Coulda

One Great Thing
by Ann Thurlow

How strange is it to sit just outside the floodlights in the dark, watching theatre in Kings Square? Strange enough that a passing minivan veers into the other lane on Weymouth, turns the wrong way down Kent. Instead of gawking, they should have stopped. They could have let the tricks of night and shadow run riot. They could have sat, entranced, as young Fringe Festival

Profile: Wade Lynch

by Jane Ledwell

Twenty years ago this past June, a fresh-faced comedic actor named Wade Lynch first stepped on the Island—“stepped off the ferry, no less,” he says—and stayed. Grinning broadly, throwing his arms wide, he says, “I’ve been embraced by the Island—and I’ve hugged it back.”

In twenty years, not only has Wade had juicy acting roles at the Charlottetown Festival—from

Olivia McLeod and Grace Rowan-Quansah dream big

A Taste for Theatre
Profile: Glenda Landry

by Jane Ledwell

When Glenda Landry came across a long-forgotten school yearbook, she eagerly peeked into its pages to learn what she had hoped and predicted for herself. Next to her picture, she read: “I want to go to theatre school in England or to culinary school.” Just past her 60th birthday, she now grins, “I’ve done both!”

Glenda is a sprightly and effervescent grande dame

by Chris McGarry

On May 12, a large crowd gathered at Higher Ground Café in Belfast to watch Murder at Mike’s, a mystery dinner theatre production put on by the members of St. John’s Presbyterian Church 2013 Guatemala Mission Team.

This thoroughly entertaining lighthearted whodunit is set in small-town Canada in the 1950s. Mike Newbury (Graham

Play by Lennie MacPherson workshopping with Young Company

In Her Own Write
by Ann Thurlow

They are, in many ways, more adaptable than the humans whose world they share. Foxes and crows, our urban neighbours and sometime adversaries, live in the human world and in a world of their own. Now, these familiar creatures have become the centrepiece of a new play. Foxes and Crows, by Lennie MacPherson, will

Profile: Jessie Inman

by Jane Ledwell

"Commitment has been a powerful word in my life," says Jessie Inman. Commitment has taken Jessie Inman as far as Antarctica and full circle home. Inman began her career as an administrative assistant at the Confederation Centre of the Arts in 1976; last fall she returned as CEO.

Inman left PEI for the Discovery Train, a travelling museum on 14 railway cars, cementing
