LOT Spring Preview + The Sound of Music GIVEAWAY! [CLOSED]


Earlier this month, I was invited to the Lower Ossington Theatre's spring preview party, where I got to mingle some talented people in Toronto's theatre scene in celebration of the season's upcoming productions: RENT, Avenue Q and The Sound of Music. It was a lot of fun! I've seen a couple different shows now at that theatre and I'm starting so see more familiar faces. (Check out my post from Cabaret & my interview with Avenue Q's Trekkie Monster)

We got a sneak preview of each of the shows, with a couple performances during the party. I'm really excited for The Sound of Music—it looks like it's going to be a fantastic show! Sigh, I wish I could sing...

Avenue Q Interview with Trekkie Monster


Before heading to NYC for the summer, I had the pleasure of interviewing a puppet (any journalist's dream, I'm sure) at the Lower Ossington Theatre. I met Trekkie Monster, a character on Avenue Q for a chat about the upcoming show, what it's like working with his cast mates, and his grooming routines. Check out the interview below:



Avenue Q hits the LOT this June and Trekkie Monster is played by local actor Adam Norrad. He's also known for his roles in the LOT's productions of RENT and The Rocky Horror Show.


 About Avenue Q:

"AVENUE Q tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account. The only apartment he can afford is way out on Avenue Q, where everyone’s looking for the same things he is: a decent job, a stable relationship, and a “purpose.” Eventually, Princeton learns to embrace the ups and downs of city life and realizes that “the real world” isn’t so bad, after all! *Not intended for children." - lowerossingtontheatre.com
