We have been busy. So busy that we have not updated y'all about the comings and goings with The Ordinary Productions - in quite some time.

That's changing now...

Some notable things to mention: The Ordinary's podcasting network has grown exponentially largely due to co-founder, Jordan Dowler-Coltman. With podcasts ranging from sports to literature to communication and leadership - there is a podcast for everyone. Check them out on Apple/Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Larisse Campbell has been busy with her directing, devising and dramaturgical work and has had the pleasure of travelling a bit with her art. In October of 2021, she was 1 of 3 directors invited to travel to Stratford, Ont to audition of the the Birmingham Festival as Stratfest has opened 1 role to directors for this fine program. She returned to over see the first reading of The Clearing by Brian Hinson at Carousel Theatre. November 2022, saw her devising and directing Palimpsest with Stone's Throw Productions at Pacific Theatre. January 2022, she became the artistic apprentice at Pacific Theatre for the season. During that amazing time, she had the immense pleasure of assist. directing for Sarah Rodgers on How the World Began, and directing the first reading of Abbamma by Keith Murray. She wrapped up her time, directing the Canadian premier of Wolves Are Coming for You by Joel Horwood at Pacific Theatre. August 2022 saw Larisse off to The Kennedy Center for guest directing with the KCTF program which filled her soul artistically and reminded her that artist are fighting the same battles both in Canada and the US. This month, she was lucky participant in Rumble Theatre's Directors Lab with Anita Rochan. She now turns her attention to the Canadian premier of The Unfortunates by Aoise Stratford at the Evergreen Cultural Center at the end of October.
She is also busy prepping (and crossing fingers for grants to come through) for a workshop of The Clearing by Brian Hinson, for March of 2023. (Show pictures will be posted in albums so please feel free to take a look.)

It goes without saying that we would not be able to do half the work we do without the continued support of our friends and families. If you are interested in the working we are making - please feel free to give us a like or reach out to us and we look forward to connecting with you all through our art in 2022 and beyond.

The Ordinary Productions have been busy this past year learning ways to pivot to continue making art in a pandemic. We didn't do a Christmas update and as January came and went quicker than we anticipated we thought it time to share some updates:

1. In October 2021, co-founder Larisse Atalie Campbell was 1 of 3 director's to head to Stratford Festival for the newly revamped Birmingham Conservatory auditions, and spent 2 days in workshops with some amazing Canadian talent.
2. In the same month - Larisse returned back to do the first workshop reading of The Clearing by Brian Hinson, a wonderful new gothic script which we will be producing in the near future.
3. In November 2021 - Larisse directed and was part of the creation team of Palimpsest, a new work, produced by Christian Ching as part of Stone's Throw Productions at Pacific Theatre.
4. Jordan was hard at work expanding The Ordinary's Podcasting network - with a swath of new pods coming in 2022 check out the fantastic content where ever you download your pods.

5. Larisse has been busy since the start of 2022 reading scripts in preparation for her contract at Pacific Theatre where she will be the directing apprentice, under the amazing Kaitlin Williams. She has the unique privilege to be the assistant director, for Sarah Rodgers, for the upcoming production of "How the World Began" which will open in March/April and then will begin rehearsals for a show she will direct at the end of June. Stay tuned for more information.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to finally (hopefully) seeing more of you all in person.
