Review of Schedule of Loss from apt613: https://apt613.ca/fringe-2026-review-schedule-of-loss/
On my way out of this show, the refrain running through my mind was simply “Damn that was clever”. The episodic construction: clever, the audience involvement: clever. The script and its musings on grief: very clever. Claire has created something poignant and charming here. I know I’ll be thinking about this show for quite some time to come.
Claire is a wonderful storyteller! She has thoughtfully crafted a beautiful show that invites the audience into her world. A very special show that is not to be missed!
Claire is an engaging storyteller. She uses her improv experience to bring the audience into her journey through the six stages of grief after losing her apartment. It makes you think deeply about attachment and detachment, and how we respond when everything familiar is gone, with the tech and lighting adding a powerful emotional layer to the storytelling.
Such a good show. Claire takes the audience on a journey of what it was like to live through this event and she is fearlessly honest about everything. And yet she still manages to create something that is ultimately affirming and empowering.
Do not miss out on this show, it’s incredible
Claire is a very honest and creative storyteller. I found the concept and delivery of the show such a brilliant way to not only share her story, but to demonstrate how we can all be there for each other during rough times. Plus the lighting and set design added the perfect touches to let you sit in the story unfolding before your eyes. Congratulations, Claire!
Claire is a fantastic storyteller! I appreciated the light and set design, the way the story was distributed and paced, and the levity and hope present even in this tale of grief
Claire is an engaging storyteller, plus the lighting and set design worked really well with her story. It also involved the audience is such a beautiful way, showing us that we can be there for one another. Even as she recounted one of the hardest experiences of her life, I left the show feeling less alone and uplifted. Thank you for sharing this with us Claire.
