Art of Time - Doghouse Roses: The Words and Music of Steve Earle

The performers truly engaged the audience. It never fails to amaze me the incredible talent we have in Canada. Bourashka creates an intimate ambiance, inviting the audience into the performance.

Contact Photography Festival - Route #1

With over 200 exhibitions it will be quite the challenge to fit in as many as we can. We start with the financial district: Brookfield Place, Scotiaplaza, First Canadian Place (National Pictures of the Year definitely worth the visit) then a short walk tomSt Lawrence Market and then finishing at the Distillery District where we take in four exhibitions (Abandoned Sentries was intriguing). Note maps and calendars are available at all locations and at the head office at 80 Spadina.

Soulpepper - Wildfire

Touching adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, very well performed by a cast of actors with Down Syndrome. Some humour, some tragedy, a love story and a very strong message.

Crow's Nest Theatre - Illusions

Funny, intriguing, exhilerating, surprising - these four are great storytellers, exuding a familiarity and camaradarie as if they are the characters in the story.

Canstage - Spotlight Australia: The Return

Impressive athlecism and the wonderful composition was a perfect compliment to the choreography. While more like a dance (not my favourite genre) the acrobatics brought a sense of awe to the performance.

Stars On Ice

I simply love this show - it makes me feel good throughout. Great music, amazing artistry of the skaters, awesome choreography and incredible energy and passion emanating from the ice. What's not to love!

Soulpepper - I'm Doing This for You

Quirky and quite odd for Soulpepper, we were nonetheless intrigued. Interactive and a little vaudevillian, Hayley McGee kept our attention and elicited a range of emotions from laughter to surprise to empathy, wondering if the story was going to end well. Expertly played, it's fun partying with McGee.
