For those who don’t know, last week, the world lost a true gem, very suddenly. It’s been really hard for me to find the words... I don’t think I realized how close I was with Colin Robson until I looked back at our 15 years of friendship.

Colin was the guy who was, somehow, always around… looming in the background, drawing, thinking up stories, or ruminating on various historical facts. He showed up for everything: DnD, potlucks, workshops, screenings, my grade 11 Sweeney Todd English project, my site specific directorial debut, and even did the Address to the Haggis at a Robbie Burns night. He was incredibly kind, generous, patient, and witty. I wish I wrote down more of the hilarious things he said. I don’t think he realized how talented he was, not only in art, but in acting (and singing, and cooking). No matter how much I praised him, he just wanted to do VFX, but it was an honour to be his scene partner.

Colin was honestly one of the best people I have known, and I am so lucky to have been his friend.

If you have photos/videos/films of Colin that you would like to share with his family (he was not one for selfies), please send me a message.

Building with blocks… building a story… 🎶

We’ve all been working super duper hard to bring you and your little ones a story full of joy, whimsy, and abundant possibilities. 🎨 Only ONE WEEK before @toronto_fringe starts, so we’re really feeling the PRESSURE (pressure, pressure…) to get those finishing touches done before our DEADLINE (July 3rd!).

Make sure you get your tickets before someone else does! (Link in bio)
