For three years I have been describing the Arts Court Theatre as "big enough to stage two productions of the Nutcracker in, side by side and simultaneously". Today I walked in to tech slut (r)evolution at the Ottawa Fringe (June 21-30), and realized all of a sudden how my three years of touring have shaped my perspective. Arts Court Theatre is just an excellently equipped, normal-sized black box, 130 seats, nothing gargantuan about it at all. I have been carrying that impression with me this entire time because the only theatres I had performed Phone Whore in before Ottawa in 2010 were a) a conference room at a hotel, b) a storefront theatre space with a 9-foot high ceiling and c) the rec hall of a Portuguese church. After 40+ venues in 34 cities, my understanding of theatre space is considerably more nuanced. Whoa.
