A stage where every man must play a part
WHO: Geoffrey Tennant and Ellen Fanshaw WHAT: Theatre Hunt! WHERE: Toronto, ON WHEN: This morning WARNINGS: Language.
The fingers of Old Man Winter are beginning to encroach upon Canada, which in layman's-- or rather, Ellen's-- terms, means that it's fucking freezing as they get out of the estate agent's car and approach the old building on Geoffrey's shortlist to become their new theatre.
This particular building has certainly seen better days. Its detailed brick frontage and architecture is distinctly Edwardian in origin; several plywood-boarded windows adding to the rundown effect. It's had moderate upgrades since then, though the many broken lightbulbs on the dilapidated 60's-era signage are testament to how few and far between those upgrades have been.
Geoffrey stands for a moment gazing up appreciatively at its facade, his breath clouding in the air. He doesn't see ruin; he sees potential.
And he's grinning like a kid who's just found the candy store. This is where Théâtre sans Argent will find its feet again.
