I’d like to thank everyone who made last week’s audition tour so successful and full of joy, especially Marja Ernst, Torin W. Chiles, Steven Bourque, Andrew Pelrine, Kimbourne Park United Church, Lukus Uhlman and Jennifer Szeto.

I’d especially like to thank all the extraordinary singers who shared their artistry, passion, exuberance and bravery by auditioning for HSOW: I’m so honoured by your interest and as soon as we hear the Halifax auditions on the 21st, we’ll make the difficult decisions that arise from the very high calibre of both acting and singing of the performers who have applied. I wish so much we could take you all!
