My Big Break

rollingstones

I was the Wizard of Woe in my primary school's production of The Canada Goose.  It was my big break.  The Canada Goose was a musical that played for two nights in the basement of St. Pius X church on Bloor Street near Runnymede.

The Wizard of Woe was no small part.  I had the most lines and a number of solos.  I'm guessing this was before my voice broke, because I can't sing a lick now.  Sandra Oh got her big break in similar fashion playing the same role.

This was a big time production, just check out the graphics on the playbill below.  Despite rave reviews, I don't think I've acted in a play since.  I'm holding out for the big bucks.  I want what Oh's getting.
