In Ireland… was the winner of a CAFF Lottery slot, so we were able to tour to six cities: Toronto (where these photos were taken by Holly Wilder), Kingston, Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, and Vancouver. On the final day of the Victoria Fringe Festival, I had appendicitis and had to go to the emergency room for surgery instead of doing our last performance. Later that week I was performing the show in Vancouver- though I was making my touring partner Nathan Coppens do a bit more of the heavy lifting at that point.

Not only did I act in the show, but I was also the touring director, marketer, and stage manager! When I am giving a thumbs up or pointing out in the below images, I am calling a cue as the Stage Manager.
