We were warmly greeted (like we usually are) by the Artistic Director of the Wee Festival, Lynda Hill. When attending an event at the festival, you will most likely experience her energetic and welcoming presence and she will (if she is able) rush to help you in any way she can. We were helped with our stroller […]

“You be the Sun!” Looking Back on the WeeFestival
Dorothy and I did a little debrief this morning after watching every WeeFestival show together.

During this past year, I haven’t missed taking myself to the theatre nearly as much as I’ve missed taking Dorothy. In the first three years of her life, I took her to see everything I could, and we both loved it. […]
