Please Help Yourself

Last month I went to see a wonderful production that won Best of Fringe this past summer at The Red Sandcastle Theatre. Help Yourself is best described as HBO on stage.


This show belongs to the wonderful theatre company Theatre Brouhaha with the amazing talent of Kat Sandler behind the writing of such a hilariously dark comedy.

The two main men Daniel Pagett as Donny and Tim Walker as Ted, started with such high energy and I was afraid they wouldn't be able to go anywhere else with it, BUT OH THEY DID! The two me were nicely complimented by the wonderful talent of Tosha Doiron as Samantha, with her real and witty portrayal of her character. The three cast ensemble did a wonderful job helping the audience unlock the mystery behind the piece Kat Sandler wrote.

Now the Red Sandcastle Theatre space is quite small so you could imagine how bad I felt laughing practically in the actors faces, but hey! The play was so damn funny!

The run is now over, but maybe they'll do a remount? I sure hope they do because this play, like many of the critics have said, can really go places.

Also Tosha Doiron is the Principle at Stage Coach Theatre Arts School in Oakville. I as well also work there, so indeed she is my employer and a grand one she is. So if you have children or know people with children get them enrolled! http://www.stagecoachschools.ca
