Soulpepper - Glenn

A clever approach, with four generations of Glenn Gould interacting with himself, was both informative and entertaining, leaving us with a thirst to hear more of his music and learn more about the man. We also enjoyed the talk back, with almost the entire cast and a member of the audience who knew Glenn Gould and shared some of his reflections. Highly recommended for anyone who does not know much about this Canadian icon and his brilliance and eccentricities.

Mirvish - Our Country's Good

Set in Australia at a penal colony from England, it is a history lesson and a play within a play. Lots of interesting characters, moments of hilarity and reflections of despair.‎ A very enjoyable show with a strong cast.

Knightwood Theatre - new groundswell festival - With Individual Desire

Based on a true story of an early suffragette, we really feel the pressure of being different in a male dominated world.

Extremely well acted, the actress playing Vincent was wonderful.


This was a very successful workshop - I'm looking forward to the final production.

Soulpepper - A Tender Thing

If you enjoy Shakespeare and have lamented the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, here is your opportunity to experience an alternate ending, with a rich and full life together. Played by real life lovers and long time outstanding Soulpepper artists, the dialogue flowed effortlessly and our favourite lines were not lost. An interesting treat.

Cabbagetown Arts and Crafts Festival

Set in the heart of Cabbagetown, this festival has something for everyone - starting with a juried show in the park, lots of interesting activities at the farm, garage sales on the street with the chance to find that unique item and music along the closed section of Parliament. One of our favourites - we never miss it !
