Rural comedy Dry Streak is having its 20-year anniversary this summer at Blyth Festival!
I’m excited to be working with director Kate Lynch. We’re tweaking and rewriting the text before rehearsals start in June — making a few changes to suit an audience in Huron County, Ontario.
Not that I’m a people pleaser, but even I can see the benefits of taking out the line “Goddamn people from Toronto” when the stage is two hours from the city. And everytime you say the word “rutabaga” to someone from Huron County, they start to laugh. I don’t get it, but I found a place to use the word (“give the people what they want…”).
Here’s the poster. I’ll post updates from now to Opening Night (June 17).
