Wainwright Alberta is a small town of approximately five or six thousand people. Many of the local people make their money working on trains, or working for the military.
In a small hard working town like this , you may be surprised to find that the Communiplex Theatre has a history of producing high quality local theatre productions, and for bringing in talent from all over Canada.
The almost full house was extremely receptive to humour and detail in the music. It's amphitheatre style seating allows for great connectivity between the audience and the venue. I like looking up to the audience. We went for a classic first set with a couple songs we hadn't played in a while. Beautiful Mistake, is a cheeky song about love at first sight, the cheekyness becomes obvious mid-song, John and Colin break into a kazoo duel. Hola, is an irreverent look at ignorant youths visiting Spain, only knowing three phrases in Spanish. It's incoherent rhymes and foolish word play is both the reason we don't play it often, and the reason we must play it sometimes. On this night, everyone got the joke.
In all, it was a good night, and another reminder of why we opt to play theatres so often, theatre audiences tend to have keen ears.
