A who’s-who of the Vancouver Theatrosphere, updated

About six months ago, I wrote a blog post about who was blogging about theatre in Vancouver. I’m happy to say that, since that time, a few new blogs have cropped up, or have been brought to my attention.

Vancouver Theatre Reviewers:

In addition to Vancouver Plays, Review Vancouver, Plank, Do Something Different and Beyond Robson, here are two more:

• Review from the House: Remember Immediate Theatre? Well, Gillian used to review for them. Now, she has her own very pleasant blog which reviews food, theatre, and travel.
• The Writerly Life: You might know Andrea as one of the theatre reviewers for The Westender, but she’s so much more!

New Vancouver Theatre Blogs:

• The Alliance for Arts and Culture: covers arts advocacy.
• The Arts Club Theatre: written by my colleague, Nicole McLuckie, I’m really enjoying this blog. It strikes the right balance of fun and business.
• An Unidentified Production: is the blog of Sabrina Everett, founder of Twenty Something Theatre. She blogs about her experience as a producer.
• Rent In Vancouver: is the blog of Ryan Mooney’s Fighting Chance Productions, chronicling the process of producing RENT.
• Bouffon Droppings: written by my dear friend Trilby Jeeves, bouffon and bouffon coach. About her life as “Madame Rouge” and musings about the artist’s life.

Already established Vancouver theatre bloggers:

• Green Thumb Theatre – Green Thumb is a local company that specializes in theatre for young audiences.
• Lois Backstage – Lois is the stage manager at Pacific Theatre, but she’s working in Kamloops for the summer, and providing us with a new perspective from there.
• Pi Theatre – The blog of Pi Theatre.
• The Next Stage – Simon Ogden is the number one Theatre blogger in Vancouver.
• Soul Food – Ron Reed is the AD at Pacific Theatre, and I think, may be Vancouver’s first Theatre blogger.
• The Theatre Department of UBC – written by that Shameless Hussy, Deb Pickman.
