Highly Recommended: Passionfool Theatre's production of the play "Terrorism" currently at The Arts Project.
I went to the matinee on Saturday - reluctantly - because I judged the title as depressing and was, frankly, afraid of the material. If my step kids hadn't given me a subscription to the Passionfool season, I wouldn't have gone. As it was, I dragged my heels going there, but - surprise! - I emerged energized.
A vibrant play that keeps moving and is never boring or preachy, but gives you plenty to think about, it's directed by Justin Quesnelle who has, once again, excelled in both staging and direction.
If I counted correctly, 19 actors fill this play, and they do a really good job of depicting a wide spectrum of viewpoints and behaviors and their consequences. I'm really glad I did not miss this one.
If you like performances that give you something to think about, go see "Terrorism." If you go with a friend, you'll probably find yourself wanting to go out for coffee to talk about it afterward.
Full of surprises, dark humor, ironies and good acting, this is a must-see if you're in London, Ontario. Plays through March 26th. Again, highly recommended. Do not let the title scare you away as it almost did me.

Bruce Johnson Memorial On November 28 2010
The Arts Project has lost Bruce Johnson:
From the London Free Press:
The devoted father of four adult sons and “champion of culture,” who many credited Thursday for turning the Arts Project into a beautiful facility, died after suffering a heart attack Wednesday night (November 17th). He was 64.
As word travelled Thursday, friends quickly set up a tribute web page (http://brucejohnson.tumblr.com/) for others to post memories and pictures of the dad, buddy, business executive and more recently arts enthusiast.
I stopped in the Arts Project today and Sandra said that there will be a memorial for Bruce at the Arts Project on Sunday, November 28th at 7:30 p.m.
I have to be there. I saw him so many times while buying tickets or when stopping in to see the art. Bruce was a force - a friendly one.
He will be missed by so many.
On a happier note, the oil paintings by Donna Andreychuk (that are up now until December 4th) are fabulous.
(Bruce hated that word, but it fits.)
A must see.
