The kids are burning something in the kitchen...

Caboodle!


Megan Deere!


Zach!

I'm with Caboodle all weekend. The young theatre collective (it seems so strange writing that) from Belleville Ontario are spending the weekend in Montreal. My good friend Meghan Deere, the facilitator/creator/director of Theatre Caboodle decided a few months ago to bring the group to Montreal for a second shot at putting a few pieces the kids created and co-wrote on a small stage in the Mile End.

I've been declared co-producer as well as photographer (mainly because I keep tapping my network to build and audience) but I'm also hosting 3 of the 9 younguns at my place in NDG. For the eternal bachelor, feeding, putting to bed and making sure everyone is clean before we leave the house activities are quite the novelty and I have to say I'm enjoying the young company of the likes of Zach, Erin and Simon. The rest of the crew are staying in the Plateau... divided up between Meg and our colleague Kim's place.

The kids are performing tonight and tomorrow night. I'm right now drafting this post from Mainline Theatre while the kids watch a play (a real play at a real theatre!). More info about the show can be found here.

Here are some of the photos I took when they were in town this Summer.
