My cups runneth......

How Awesome is life????

Pretty excellent, except for my loving husband Georgie and my gay/fake husband Patrick still being away.... all is pretty good.

I was up until 4:00am last night listening to new music cause I am something of a gaylord for the tunes.

I have about 40 songs that I am choosing from for the next few shows and my little 'songologue' is pretty much written for May 22.

I just finalized the people for the summer till the last date in August, which is the 28th

that date will be ....

drum roll please.....

back by popular demand Thom Alison, woo hoo, we love him and new guests...

THE BITTERGIRLS!!!!!

Woo hoo...we will be chatting and they will be doing a reading or something fab.

Mary Francis Moore and Alison Lawrence....(the other Bittergirl, Annabel Griffiths, will be having a baby so....not so bitter at the time)will be there representin'.

I am so excited about the line up.

I feel very blessed.

Piss off judgers.....I am allowed to feel blessed under my tough, brassy exterior ( is that spelled right? my spell check is effed!)

Other than that..it is back to taxes and because I am a virgo and love organization....loving taxes a bit...but don't tell Georgie.

OOHHH wait till you see who the surprise guest this month is....I am all a quiver!

I forgot to mention the .....'oh-look-who-came-to-the-party-peeps'...um, people.

We saw Canada's most prolific writer Norm Foster in the corner holdin' a tall one, a beer people! And was't that Rita Zekas, of the Toronto Star? She looks awesome!

Real Live Boy Damien Atkins, just back from playing the title character in 'I Am My Own Wife'in....Texas of all places!

And a whole new wack of people that I didn't know....wouldn't be a party without new people!

Back to Quicken and reciepts....

New Guests

So!
Not only will we be having awesome guests for May (Jenn Waiser and Evan Buliung) and June ( Ted Simonett and Graham Abbey)....I managed to snag some really exceptional peeps for July .......Dan Chameroy, who is currently starring in "High Society" at Shaw will be guesting. Dan and I met when he was 19 and I was 21 and we were in Les Mis. We were newbies. We used to go to the Y and workout then go to Frans for fish and chips....ah to be young again.
If you've been under a rock and not heard of the fantastic Shoshana Sperling then here is your chance!!! I have seen her many times and her creativity and humour just blow me away. She does a chick singer paraody that slays me. On this night she will be performing with her husband ...who is an amazing bass player. I met her through Ed Sahley ....he is awesome....what a community we have!
AHHHHH! We are so lucky to have the talent we have in Toronto. And even more exciting.....they are comin' to Sharron's Party.
Patrick is in Sudbury and I am missing him. With Georgie already out in Halifax it is hard times. I thank god for Otto the scary guard dog. He may be a schnauzer, which sounds cute ....and is ...... but he is mighty.
The weather was so gorge ( sassy for gorgeous) today I got out in the garden.
Thom Allison and I went to see "Take the Lead" tonight as I have a very small cameo in it. It was turrible. But Thom and I laughed our heads off. I ask you this.....with millions of dollars going into movies and hundreds of people making decisions how can a sound boom still be seen in some scenes? That is just effed.

Bohemian Rhapsody!

Oh, What a Night!

Easter Party!

What a great turn out and what great guests.

I was a little worried after I booked the date and found out that it was Easter Monday.

But, no worries.

A whole wack of newbies were there last night along with many regulars ( Rafe, Woody, Kent, Mary Francis), who I love having. There were about 120 peeps there!!!!!

First of all.....how much do I love Fashion Crimes, 322 1/2 Queen Street West, for outfitting me?

They dressed me up like a doll and made me feel all pretty.

Thank God, cause Rita Zekas was there and is writing for the Shopping Section of the Star and she seemed pretty jazzed about what I was wearing!

I had two great outfits.

A Burnt Sienna (remember that crayon?) Marilyn Monroe cocktail dress and in the second set I wore a tight fitting black number splashed with accessories that made me feel like a queen and a bit French.

They loved it when I said that those bitches will dress you right!

They will be dressing me again!!!

And speaking of being dressed, the man who I can't live without, next to my Georgie, Mr. Patrick Burwell, had a shirt made that said

"Sharron's Bitch"

on it.

At one point in the dressing room He was curling my hair and cinching up my dress.

He has other talents than that of musical direction, clearly.

My Songologue, which is now my second piece of the night, was all about how I wanted to play Effie in Dreamgirls and half way thru I got so excited about getting a laugh that I went totally blank after a few moments of searching I found my way back but I did poop my pants there for a minute.

Ya gotta love live theatre.

John Alcorn, dreamy.

He sang a song that he wrote for Ronnie Burkett's latest show at Canstage.

Lovely.

Ed Sahely sang and played for himself....a surprise for me.

He is such a funny guy and his songs were another side of him.

I love that.

Look for he and Jonathon Wilson to do some improv at the Party soon.

Our sing-a-long last night was a combo of Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine from Showboat into Come Sail Away by Styx.....went over awesome.

It is one of our biggest chores coming up with an interesting audience participation song.

And it is one of my fave parts.

Miss Shelley Simester was my surpirse guest and stole the show, much to my chagrin and jealousness, singing two very funny pieces and telling some great stories.

Who knows....I hope that she will write a show someday soon!

Then...I was so excited.....my 11:00 number was Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody!

Woo hoo!

I was looking forward to it all night.

The evening was a little longer than usual but all in all people seemed entertained and happy. I know I was but I always have the best seat in the house.

Thanks to all who came and look forward to seeing you soon at the Party!

Please write in with your suggestions for songs and I will put them on the list.

All my best,

Sharron

Out East!

I am sitting in a place called the"Paper Chase" at the end of Argyle Street in Halifax trying to do all of my business stuff ! Emailing. Paper reading.

Bloggin' all of the four of you who read this...but it will build up a following. I mean, really, who wouldn't want to read about my comin's and goin's?

Who I ask you?

I just finished the "out east" tour of Tribal Productions

Charlie Brown.

I was Lucy Van Pelt!

I actually am Lucy Van Pelt.

For Real.

I came home one day and said to George

" I am playing myself."

He smiled uncomfortably and went back to making dinner.

I decided to embrace her,

Fury and all.

We played St John, Moncton, Fredricton, Antigonish and , wait for it, Glace Bay.

Glace Bay is then end of the highway. It just drops you there with no hope , the highway that is.

Patrick, my partner in Party crime, was the musical director of CB and we were at a Subway in Glace Bay ( Jared was right, Subway is good) and Patrick was getting his sub done up right and the girl who was the sandwich artist turned to the other sandwich artist and said
"Watch your hand you're gonna burn yourselfssssss!"

( Cause all of the easterners words end with S's)

And guy sandwich artist said

" I don't care, I hate this fuckin' job!"

That kinda sums it all up, right there.

The first bit of the tour was great. St. John, Moncton and Fredricton had great audiences.

But after that?

Smelly.

But now I am Halifax visiting George.

He is in Evita playing Peron.

He is having a great time.

I had never been out here before.

It is very nice.

We rented a car yesterday and drove to Peggy's Cove.

Gorgeous.

And only 60 people live there.

It is out of time.

Only 5 days till the party!

Can't wait!

Don't forget, You are never alone at the Party!
