Three N Hell

So here's the thing about our reviews: they are good. Which, you might say, is good. But, another 3 star (or 3 N) review in NOW Magazine yesterday probably dooms us to be lost in the shuffle of the 4 and 5 star (and N) shows that the masses inevitably flock to on the last weekend of the festival.

It definitley didn't affect our house yesterday, as at 4:45 pm we had exactly 13 people in the house. The 13 of them liked the show (one of them was even kind enough to post a comment on our Eye Weekly page), but it's tough performing a comedy for so few people. I have hope, however, that numbers will pick up for Wednesday (9:30 pm) and Friday (8:00 pm).

Here is the quick review from NOW, by Jon Kaplan:
The Chuchill Protocol
NNN

A reporter visits Churchill, Manitoba, for an exclusive about a secret military operation. Writer/actors Patrick Gauthier and Kris Joseph keep us as intrigued as the keen reporter for most of the show, though a twist at the end doesn't work as well as it might. The performances, especially Joseph's as an increasingly maniacal colonel, are sharp and riveting.
