Last night I went to see the "other" baseball show -- The Hesitation Pitch. It was a wonderful script performed by a terrific cast. Satchel Paige visits Morrin, Alberta and gives a little advice to the playwright's grandmother, pitcher Ellen "Smokey" Murdoch. It would do very well in front of SE Saskatchewan audiences!
We have two performances left in Edmonton -- with two sellouts so far. Over 400 patrons have picked Diamond Girls out of the list of 216 shows. Before we leave Edmonton, I have to mention the camaraderie and support of performers like TJ Dawe, Jem Rolls, Jeff Newman, Alix Cowman, Mind of a Snail, and Rob Gee. We have come to realize they are not our competitors. They are our friends. They come to our shows and we go to theirs. We praise one another on social media because that way we all win. As much as we have enjoyed the Fringes, we are eager to get on to the next phase – performing in Battleford, Toronto, and Saskatoon. Tickets are starting to move for the Toronto performances. Thank you Joanne Millard for suggesting we make the trip! We can hardly wait to meet our Ontario audiences and visit the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in St. Mary's. A Blue Jays' game? I sure hope so! We have received a few inquiries about adding performances to the tour but so far have only been able to accommodate Swift Current. Our dance card is full! And so are our hearts. Thank you, Edmonton.
