One of a Kind Craft Show

The annual hunt for that unique and interesting gift was successfully concluded at the One of a Kind show. So was the acquisition of delicious and hard to find treats for gift baskets. And, of course, ‎a few choice baubles for myself! Its easy to find a gift for just about anyone here.

McMichael - Morrice & Lyman in the company of Matisse

Featuring Matisse and two Canadian artists with a similar style, we really enjoyed this show. Taking in the Group of Seven while there is also always a treat. We also had a lovely lunch in the cafe. Its very easy to spend a leisurely afternoon here, even on a day when walking outside is not attractive.

TSO - Second City Guide to the Symphony

The review from my group is mixed. While generally entertaining, it was somehow not as engaging as some expected it to be. ‎However, the integration of comedy and symphony was clever and we enjoyed the audience participation. Couldn't really figure out how this would come together, but it was quite unique.

ROM - Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Amazing show - the photographs were stunning and the stories behind them were fascinating. Also some very talented young people were featured. This show is definitely worth a visit.

Off Mirvish - Buyer & Cellar

If you are a Barbra Streisand fan, you will get a kick out of this show. A one man production, Christopher J Hanke is a chameleon, playing 4 different characters convincingly well.
