What amazing footage and a great idea to
include the filming of the photographer at work. Catching those candid moments
from the boredom of waiting for the right shot to the friendly sibling banter to the palpable fear
of trying to outrun a charging elephant in a questionably protected landrover.
The park is unbelievable and the efforts of the dedicated conservationists is
inspiring. The photographer's love of this park clearly comes through and his
portrayal of the lion prides and elephant families he shared with us endeared
them to us as well.

Theatre Paisse Muraille - Caught
Awesome show - unanticipated twists and turns
catching us by surprise. Outstanding script and actors, enhanced by setting the
play in Toronto, referencing familiar streets and institutions, we quickly lost ourselves in the drama. Judging by my teen daughter's response, taking your kids is highly recommended.

TSO POPS - On Broadway
Playing some lesser known, but excellent
compositions in the first half was a great prelude to the favourites performed
in the second half. Very creative program, featuring amazing vocals and
interesting casting in the choice of Darren Criss to sing Broadway songs, who
absolutely excelled. It was a real treat to see Darren perform live
(particularly as we are big Glee fans). The chemistry between him and the
conductor was awesome, making this one of the most fun POPS concerts I have
attended. Steven Heineke never lets us down!

Soulpepper - Blood Wedding
What started out as a love triangle amongst a
long blood feud morphed into a surreal chase and then returned to the real
world. Not quite sure it worked, but there were a number of stellar
performances, particularly from the long suffering mother, and the music was
lovely.

Mirvish - The Judas Kiss
Oscar Wilde's blind devotion makes sense in this sensitive portrayal of love and deception and acceptance. The acting was amazing and the Italian paramour was definitely an enjoyable sight.

Mirvish - GIG
Fun little romp about the music business,
featuring several very talented performers. Lots of great music. Enjoyable for
the whole family.

Knightwood - Public Servant
Entertaining satire of the public service,
the changes under Harper and the seeming futility of dedicated public servants,
doing their best to serve the government and the public good. You will
undoubtedly experience some hilarious parallels to the administrative function
in your office.
