(L to R) Garret C. Smith & Vivien Endicott-Douglas in Amy Lee Lavoie's Stopheart at Factory Theatre, May 4 – 26, 2013.

Stopheart left me confused and ultimately a bit frustrated. The potential was there and there were certainly some beautiful moments but overall, everything was pushed and lacking truthfulness. Written by Amy Lee Lavoie, Stopheart is a look at five unusual people living in the small town of South Porcupine, Ontario. The story centers on...

For the love of Opera: Salome

(l – r) Hanna Schwarz as Herodias and Erika Sunnegårdh as Salome

The house was full on a Tuesday night for the third of eight performances of Strauss’s Salome. And I wonder if the audience was wondering the same thing I was: “I guess Salome wears a new dress with every show,” as her dress is covered in the dripping blood of the severed head of...
