And…we’re back from the tour.  Well, almost:  we’ve been west, and we’ve been east – and next week we head back to the left coast to Victoria’s amazing UNO Festival for two more shows.   Then a handful more shows over the summer months here in Ontario. Tour report so far?   The week on [...]

So happy to have landed in Vancouver, at the beautiful Cultch, for a two-week run of the show.  It’s spring here, full of cherry blossoms and flowers, we’ve borrowed ourselves some bicycles to ride around on, Vancouver is full of bike lanes, and the show is getting full houses and enthusiastic audiences, so…I’m a very [...]

First stop on the spring 2013 SPIN tour is Wilmington,North Carolina.   After some epic packing to fly this show thru the air, we arrived late last night with all our bits in tact.  This morning I did a workshop at the University (for a gender studies class -very fun, although 9 am is admittedly [...]

Hey November.  We say it’s time to keep celebrating the mighty bicycle, even as the cold creeps into Ontario for another winter!  Last week we threw our music bike in a van, and started this month of SPIN tour in Guelph at the River Run Centre;  tomorrow we head to Kingston to the Grand Theatre [...]

This is the last weekend to see Obaaberima at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto.  I am soooo proud of this show, and we’re all so very pleased that the reviews have been so universally wonderful:  you can check out what the critics have to say, but better yet, come and see it for [...]
