Tarragon - Hamlet

Interesting interpretation - a reading accompanied by rock and roll. While the microphones were distracting when they were held, the balance of the play, uniquely demonstrated in a minimalist fashion, was well executed.

TPM - Acha Bacha

While in preview, I still thoroughly enjoyed this play. It was creative , dynamic and dealt with some hard realities, very much in keeping with current events. With outstanding performances all around, this is a show not to miss.

CanStage - Declarations

This is ..... Creative, intelligent, thoughtful, funny. I'm not a fan of creative dance but I thoroughly enjoyed this show.

National Geographic Live! - Cristina Mittermeier: Standing at the Water's Edge

I am concerned and inspired to do my part about conservation of our oceans and the culture and lands of indigenous peoples. Cristina makes such a compelling case for the risks we continue to put our planet under, while at the same time conveying the magic and beauty through her photographs.

Ryerson Image Centre - Snapshots from San Francisco

A fascinating exhibit of collaboration between photographs and subject, with accompanying text, is well worth whiling away your time. Also featured within this show is the largest exhibition of Jim Goldberg's work. The latter, in particular, provided an interesting contrast between the rich and the poor.

Nightwood Theatre - Calpurnia

Fascinating approach towards "To Kill a Mockingbird". The feelings of frustration and anger during the dinner party were palpable, offset by well timed comedic moments. Not to be missed.

Soulpepper - A Delicate Balance

Volatile family dynamics and an unusual test of friendship builds palpable tension until - well, go to the play and find out. A comedy of sorts.
