Love TaB
No Paint Nite for now…
Dear TaB fans,
Like many events, our Paint Nite fundraiser for Alex and Michael and Hannah at The Billiard Club has had to be postponed indefinitely. The company which arranged the event will reassess the COVID-19 situation on March 27. We’ll inform ticket holders of what comes next as soon as we know.
Stay safe everyone 💜💜💜
TaB
Last chance for auditions
As of yesterday, the Edmonton Fringe is still going ahead, and so are we! AND we have a contingency plan to do the show regardless!
Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far to do video auditions for Alex and Michael and Hannah. Take a Bite Productions will be accepting sign-ups until noon tomorrow, March 29, 2020. For further details, please check here.
In the meantime, stay safe and healthy.
Love TaB
Making Lemonade
First, here’s hoping all TaB fans are staying safe and healthy in this time of covid.
Second, we’re surrounded by very sour lemons. For the time being, the Edmonton Fringe is still scheduled to go ahead. And in the meantime, as a BIG teaser, playwright Heather is writing a second version of the script, to be performed 99% online.
Hopefully, you will see Alex and Michael and Hannah live onstage first, and (since it’ll have been written anyway!) version 2. But, if it turns out version 2 goes up first, you’ll still get the stage version later.
*UPDATE* Video Auditions – Alex and Michael and Hannah

Meet our Producing Partner – The Women’s Co.
Take a Bite Productions is thrilled to be partnering with The Women’s Company to bring you Alex and Michael and Hannah this summer.
The Women’s Company is an initiative offering theatre by women and for women. The Company’s inaugural production was the acclaimed Off-Broadway hit, ‘Love, Loss, and What I Wore’ at the Regina International Fringe Theatre Festival in 2017. The show received critical acclaim and was widely loved by the fringe audience, who helped us raise nearly $1000 for The Canadian Cancer Society and The Regina Transition House (the local women’s shelter). In 2018, The Company took ‘Love, Loss, and What I Wore’ on tour. We performed across the country, ending our tour at the Edmonton International Fringe™ Theatre Festival. For our Edmonton performances we were honoured to be nominated for eight BroadwayWorld Awards; eventually winning Best Play, Best Touring Show, and Best Costume Design.
