The production of King Lear at the Stratford Festival (here in Canada) is the play I saw there live, in person. I also saw Much Ado about Nothing during that same weekend. I went to the festival with a co-worker friend. It turned out that she had gone to high school with - and sort of dated - the festival’s Artistic Director. They ran into each other there and got together for dinner the night we were supposed to return home. She was so excited because he was a celebrity now! He was married, and so was she, so it was very innocent, but I remember that she phoned her husband and lied to him about why she’d be returning later than she had planned. (Not related at all: a few months later, she came to work and announced that she and her husband had split up.)
(Also during that weekend in Stratford, the evening we saw King Lear and returned to our motel, we found a film crew set up outside our room. We had to wait until they were finished what they were doing. It was some low-budget thriller. Since the entire parking area was being filmed, my Mazda would have been shown in the movie.)

The best one, not including BC, was the one of your encounter with Yannick Bisson when he scolded you for trying to jump the queue.

In case you wanted proof . . . It took me a while to find them, but I did take pictures that day! I just now found them - still on the memory card, still in my old camera that doesn’t work any more. They were taken January 12, 2013. The first photo has YB turning to look at me, holding up the autograph he had just signed for me. In front of his table is my co-worker (and her son behind her) who pointed to me when she asked him for the autograph. Right after this, he walked over and handed it to me (and scolded me!). In the second photo, you see YB standing beside Gerry Dee, who was there to promote his show “Mr. D“ (I got his autograph, too). The Murdoch Mysteries poster in the back is one of the promotional items they handed out to us while we waited in line.

TIFF is doing something called Stay-at-Home Cinema. Viewers watch a movie and then join in a discussion with someone involved with the movie. www.tiff.net/stayathomeThis week, they’ll be talking to Danny Boyle:

But, I don't mind looking at YB pictures.
