Guest Post by Roanne Ward

It’s only January but it feels like summer is just around the corner with the buzz going on in the Bard office! I’ve just returned from a month in Central America and now I’m refreshed and ready to jump into getting our 25^th Anniversary season ready.

I’d hoped to take in some live local theatre while I was away. But alas it wasn’t to be, until…

2013 was an eventful year on the Bard Blog, and we’re taking this last post of the year to look back on some of your favourite stories from the last season.

Bard’s Administration and Box Offices will be closed from noon on December 24th and will reopen on January 2nd.

Happy holidays to all!

Check in to the blog December 30th for a look back at our favourite blog moments from 2013!

Exciting news on the casting front!

We’re thrilled to announce that Bob Frazer will be back on the Studio Stage at Bard for our 25th Anniversary season in 2014. 

After taking a year away from Bard while he pursued other projects (including his recent work as Jay Gatsby in Theatre Calgary’s The Great Gatsby,  Bob will appear in next season’s productions of Bill Cain’s Equivocation and Shakespeare’s Cymbeline. 

Have we got a treat for you!

As many of you know, the Bard family is large and comprised of many people – one such member is Terence Strachan (pen name T.G. Barker), a night watchman at Bard and a very talented cartoonist.

Terence has been wokring at Bard since 2002 and since 2004, he has been creating a comic series entitled ‘Guard on the Beach’.

“Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
the Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot.” 

Today we have a guest post from one of our wonderful Village Managers – Jennifer McDonald
