TSO - Fantasia

Featuring video clips from the original (1930) and remake (2000), accompanied by the TSO, you don't need to be a Mickey Mouse fan to enjoy this show. The visuals are stunning and the music is amazing, particularly when played live by the TSO. Lots of people of all ages came out for this one. It is one of my teens' favourites films and this was a very special presentation. We strongly recommend it.

CanStage - Spotlight Africa: Ubu and the Truth Commission

Dark and sobering, this dramatization of Apartheid atrocities is eloquently told through multiple media. Very well integrated live actors, video, graphics and puppets. Not pleasant at times, but compelling.

TSO POPS - As Heard on TV

Nicole Parker Is an amazing performer - an unusual combination of comedian and singer. She had the audience in stitches with hilarious skits and improv, and mesmerized us with her awesome voice.  Steven Reineke never lets us down, we really enjoyed this concert. 

Art of Time Ensemble - Intermezzi

Featuring the music of Brahms, this was a dreamy concert, particularly with Burashko on the piano. Innovatively choreographed, we were treated to a wonderfully fluid dance by Evelyn Hart, former principal ballerina of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, in the first half and an engaging puppet show in the second. What an interesting contrast!

Canstage - African Spotlight: Nongogo

Superb acting and some unexpected twists. We like to believe its not over and have imagined a different scenario for what happens the next day - I hope forgiveness.

Factory Theatre - The Daisy Theatre

Absolutely amazing show. Ronnie Burkett is an awesome puppeteer and comedian, bringing his wonderful puppets to life with song and mirth. This unscripted show is not to be missed.

Factory Theatre - The Unplugging

What would happen today if technology failed and survival depended on living off the land. Who knows how to fish, hunt, preserve, forage through the winter, make a fire. Who do you trust, how do communities come together, govern themselves, ... Many of these issues are presented and generate debate after. We loved this show and strongly recommend it.
