Ravine Winery

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner, with wine pairings, in the Ravine Vineyard wine cellar. An intimate and romantic setting for 40 to 60 of your closest friends, complete with the top albums of the 70’s and 80’s and a vintage record player. This is a great location for a team dinner or a special celebration. The food was great, the wine was lovely and the ambiance encouraged ribald behavior, including dancing in the aisle between the table and the barrels. Highly recommended if you want to impress !

TSO POPS - Mardi Gras: New Orleans Jazz

Well, the joint was definitely bouncing. With awesome performances by Byron Stripling on trumpet and his "so sweet voice" and Bobby Floyd, a most incredible pianist. They brought the flavour of New Orleans to Toronto, wowing the crowd with their banter and prowess. My teens were blown away. We really hope to see them back!

Soulpepper - Gigli Concert

Interesting show, but I'm not quite sure what to say about it. Very talented actors and clever script, exploring the manifestations of mental illness.‎ So who is the patient...

Canstage - Belleville

Dark and topical, addressing mental illness through co-dependency. Facing life's challenges as a newlywed couple, each are also dealing with his or her own demons, ultimately spiraling out of control. Convincing and thought-provoking, you will be talking about this one all the way home.

CISMF Music Festival

Wow, what an amazing concert. And such a treat, for these young musicians and singers, to perform in Roy Thomson Hall. After only a few days of practice, more than 1400 students from over 20 schools, to participate in one of three choirs (Junior, Intermediate, Senior) or five instrumental ensembles (Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, String Orchestra, Jazz Orchestra). It was an incredible experience. Some very talented young people, indeed!
 

Soulpepper - Trudeau and the FLQ

What a great show - entwining the story of the FLQ with that of Trudeau's rise to power, in video cabaret style with elaborate costumes and gestures. This production is part of a series of plays farcically dramatizing moments in Canadian history. Mac Fyfe played a wonderful and endearing caricature of Pierre Trudeau. The FLQ leader was also quite charming. I really enjoyed this light and creative show - you must see it.
