Tenants were invited to a play “Where The Blood Mixes” presented at Hamilton’s Theatre Aquarius. The play is a heartfelt story of two native buddies Floyd & Mooch coming to terms with their past. The one character that stuck out for me was Mooch he displayed all the emotions of a native drunk who thinks winning the big lottery will be the end of his troubles actor Craig Lauzon did a remarkable job in the role. I’ve never heard of him before so I did some research, he’s has an impressive comedic resume. Lorne Cardinal “Floyd” Who doesn’t know this guy! I’ve seen him many times on television. I was impressed with his stamina, here he was in a slouching position for about 15 minutes and didn’t move while the other female actors were doing a scene. I kept thinking “I bet he feel asleep” :D The Christine character is a young woman looking for her father because she was giving away as a child. The actress who played the role did a good job and could sing. The bartender & “June” were excellent in the supporting roles. We had front row, centre aisle seats so we were up close and personal with the cast. :D When the play ended we met at the foyer, finger foods were available so I ate, mingled and I ran into a few familiar faces I know from outside the native community as well as native friends. I did notice the Acting HSC & her goofy looking husband hanging around the washroom and the Director...God only knows what she was doing. I didn’t want to ruin my night so I ignored them.

The event is right up my alley I enjoy the Arts I’ve been
attending live theatre/shows for years in Toronto
and Hamilton. No potluck in this place. Everybody was dressed appropriately with the
exception of a few.
Theatre Aquarius is going through some renovations at the
front entrance which is a bit of an eyesore.
But Hey! As they say in the business “The Show Must Go On” :)
I’d like to thank "Mr. Ron" & Donna Patterson for sponsoring
the tickets for the play, by mentioning their names in this blog their
contribution to the Arts will not go unnoticed. :)
