It has been a busy six weeks for the cast and crew of Diamond Girls. Amanda Trapp and Kenn McLeod started rehearsals in early September. We decided to give the show an entirely new look, dumping the projections we used prior to the 2016 version and utilizing a new trenchcoat, uniform (and mini!), and backdrop. The bench alone remains the same, although it won't be able to accompany us to . . . (wait for it) . . . Australia! Yes, Diamond Girls will be taking on international audiences, traveling to the world's 2nd largest fringe festival in Adelaide, South Australia in March 2018.
We are still looking for audiences in Canada and will hopefully have news for you soon in that regard. In the meantime, we have a few pending performances in our neck of the woods - Weyburn on October 29th, Lloydminster on November 5th, and Estevan on November 19th. Plans are in the works for an Ontario tour in June and July 2018. We've applied to four fringe festivals (London, Toronto, Hamilton, and Ottawa), as well as the CAFF lottery. We should be able to finalize our plans by the end of December. Amanda is getting fabulous reviews, and we are so proud of the hard work she has done. A few new stories have been added to the script, as well as a Question and Answer session after each performance. It is a wonderful opportunity for audiences to interact with Amanda, Kenn, and myself, and get the "skinny" both on these fabulous Saskatchewan women, Wrigley's vision for female professional baseball, and what it takes to get Diamond Girls from the page to the stage. Hopefully we'll be bringing this show to your community very soon!
