As some readers of shellysavonlea.net may know, Molly Atkinson has fronted a jazz trio for some time. Yet, there was no way for us fans to hear her sing…
Until now.
A month and a half ago, she set up a Myspace page, and added demos of singing various jazz standards (one song is “Over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz). To visit her page there, click on the link below.

Congratulations to Sarah Polley, who just snagged herself a Canadian Screenwriters Award for her screenplay for Away From Her (based on Alice Munroe’s The Bear Came Over the Mountain. The award is given by the Writer’s Guild of Canada to honour screenplays written for TV and film. This year’s awards were handed out during a ceremony last night.

In a press release issued on April 19, Sarah Polley was listed as one of the eight jurors (not counting this year’s jury president, British director Stephen Frears) for feature films in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival in France, which will run from May 16-27.
In 2002, she was on the Toronto International Film Festival’s jury for short films, so this should be nothing new to her.

The Stratford Festival announced today that David Fox would be replacing William Hutt as Tobias in their production of Edward Albee’s A Delicate Balance. William Hutt–who had retired in 2005–was to return for this one play, but had to drop out due to health reasons.
This will mark David’s third turn at Stratford. He was previously there in 1991, in a mounting of Ibsen’s Enemy of the People; and, more recently, in 2001 as the title character in The Trials of Ezra Pound. Most recently, he came off Tarragon Theatre’s production of the play Scorched, which has won much praise in the press. It is now playing at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, with David still in the cast.
A Delicate Balance runs from July 29 to September 23 at the Tom Patterson Theatre, as part of the Stratford Festival.
