Review: Blue Surge – sadness runs at the surface

contactus@gayvancouver.net (Mark Robins) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:04:18 +0000

contactus@gayvancouver.net (Mark Robins) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:16:41 +0000

It can take a lot to make me cry. Where my partner will shed a few when they “move that bus” I tend to find myself a little more protective of my own. But last night, thanks to some terrific performances, the tears came not once but twice as I watched the Glass Productions’ presentation of The Glass Menagerie.

Rob Salerno’s got Sarah Silverman beat: he’s F#%@ing Stephen Harper

contactus@gayvancouver.net (Mark Robins) — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:01:09 +0000

Little did actor/writer/journalist Rob Salerno know that what started out as a joke back in 2008 to see who could come up with the most outrageous title for a show would actually come to be. Based on his experience covering the snap federal election that year, the self-described "shocking" title took root and thus Salerno's Fucking Stephen Harper was born. Making his way through Canada's Fringe circuit, Salerno brings his play to Vancouver as part of the 2010 Vancouver Fringe Festival.
