LISTEN HERE: Obsessions Octet flying high on classical octane
He plays sax and is head of composition at MacEwan University’s music program. She plays violin for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. They make beautiful music together – literally. The Obsessions Octet is one of Edmonton’s more unusual bands. It’s basically a string quartet combined with a jazz band, in the tradition of Argentine composer Astor […]
REVIEW: Taj Express a bombastic bonafide Bollywood bonanza!
Last year, India’s Bollywood film industry sold more tickets than Hollywood. The plots of these films are as thin as a Bombay fakir but are tricked out in massive production numbers featuring a combination of traditional and modern elements. The films tend not to take themselves seriously, are self-aware, funny, bright and entertaining. Because of […]
REVIEW: Silent Sky Showcases Struggles of the Sisters of Science
They even have a name for it. It’s called the “Matilda Effect” – coined in 2013 in a report stating that scientific research papers by men were regarded as stronger than those by women. The long, sad story of women in science who were ignored, had their findings stolen by others (physicist Lise Meitner) or […]
COMIC Q&A: Tri-lingual Sugar Sammy focuses on writing
Sugar Sammy is from the right place at the right time: Montreal, home of the famed Just for Laughs Festival – a great place to hone his act, which was originally based on his experience as an English-speaking Indo-Canadian going to a French school.

CONCERT REVIEW: Elton John Crocodile Rockin’ in Edmonton
In 1973, it was still OK to leave 10-year-olds in the car by themselves as the adults went to the grocery store or whatever – so one day I was alone in the car and had the radio on for amusement. Until that moment, music was just a thing in the environment I never thought […]
REVIEW: Ditzy old Lemoine sparkles with fresh cast
Playwright Stewart Lemoine writes in many genres. He has penned funny plays that say something about human relationships, and funny plays that have nothing but entertaining us on their ditzy little minds, plus everything in between. Vidalia, an older work last seen here in 2002 and remounted at the Varscona Theatre until Oct. 12, squarely […]
REVIEW: The Color Purple gets superb treatment it deserves at the Citadel
When I first saw the Broadway production of The Color Purple adapted from Alice Walker’s 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning best seller, I was unimpressed. As is often the way with Broadway, when they get their hands on an intimate story they produce the living daylights out of it. Walker’s tale is certainly a decade-spanning epic but […]
