Hi everyone, I know this is quite last-minute, but I wanted to let everyone know about an event happening tonight (August 26) at the Tantra Lounge in North Van. It's a fundraiser for the upcoming production of the play "Tape", being mounted this fall by a collaboration of two groups of up-and-coming local actors (including some of my fellow acting students at the William Davis Centre). One play, two casts - quite a novel concept. For $10 admission, you get two drinks, plus you get to hang out at a very groo ...Continue Reading

Well (assuming some overeager junk-mail filter didn't already toast this message due to "sale" in the subject line), here's the story. I have a couple of items I'd like to part with. They're both highly useful, but just not to me. They are: - A scanner (which can be seen at http://adamabrams.com/images/scanner.jpg), and - A travel suitcase (visible at http://adamabrams.com/images/suitcase.jpg) Note: if nothing else, be sure to read the bit about how to reply to this offer, down at the bottom.

Hi everybody, I've posted a photo gallery of the recent Applause Musicals in Concert "Cabaret Night" at the Backstage Lounge last Sunday. The theme was "Boy Songs, Girl Songs" - and the boys and girls sang each others' songs! That's how I wound up performing "I'm Just A Girl Who Cain't Say No" from /Oklahoma/. For a few of you who've seen these already, note that there's an additional "bonus" video now available showing an excerpt of my performance. Alas, it was accidentally shot ...Continue Reading
