Last PG Show

After four and a half years The Night Shift decided to retire from The Playground. The decision was due to some administrative changes at the PG, cancelled shows, and I think more globally all of us wanting to move a bit beyond straight long-form.

The show tonight, our last, was indicative of our time there, good despite some external detractors. We've regularly found the fun, made each other laugh, and created characters that had energy and onus typically within the frame work of some loose narrative. I'm proud of our longevity but more so our consistency, our bad shows were never that bad and we never had more than two or three a year.

The Night Shift is the only team of mine that's endured the test of time. We've grown together and we've stayed together. Through people moving or stepping down, through personal and interpersonal issues, through artistic and comedic differences, we've kept going and are closer because of it.

We plan to keep performing as a group, to put up more specific shows for limited runs. I'll be forever grateful for the PG for putting us together and giving us a stage to play on but it was time. It does feel good to move on, there's a sense of completeness, it feels like growth.
