It struck me what a ballsy move that was, to shave his head bald like that – and how fearlessly everyone seemed to be forging ahead with all of this theatre business.<br/><br/>I also remember that show – Glengarry Glen Ross – and a similar feeling of awe to the one you describe at the sheer apparatus of it all. There was a theatre, a stage, a set, costumes and makeup, people knew their lines (or so it seemed to me), and the show was a pleasure to watch – a list of modest miracles. Your reflections on that time, in this piece of writing, reminds me what it was like to witness those minor miracles of theatre as a young adult. How much potential energy it all seemed to contain – and how within reach.<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/><br/>Ian I remember seeing Garrett at Future Bakery & Cafe on Bloor Street one evening leading up to the show’s opening.

That's another great downtown theatre space that is off the map now. I think the Randolph academy might just use it internally. You huys put on most of your shows on at the Annex Theatre right?
