Sheraton Theatre - Chelsea Sunrise

A catchy score and some amazing choreography make for a very fine musical. Shout out to the Valkries, the talent show MC and the leads for outstanding performances.

Factory Theatre - Angelique

Addressing Canada's ugly past with racism, the depiction of the brutality and oppression in this period was intense. The score was intrinsic, amplifying the performance in intriguing ways.

Nightwood - A Blow in the Face

Creative and fascinating, you never know what is coming next as the tension slowly builds. The mother comes across as genuinely exhausted and the "pixies" are delightful.

Sheridan Theatre - The House of Martin Guerre

Sheridan Theatre is Oakville's little secret - fabulous theatre at a great price. This large cast performance did not disappoint - with great music, tension and excitement and loads of chemistry between the leads.

Off Mirvish - A Doll’s House Part 2

At times amusing, at times dramatic, this feminist play shows many different perspectives that are irreconcilable. Thank goodness I was not living in that era. Deborah Hay was delightfully eccentric as Nora.

TSO POPOS - Best of Hollywood

It is wonderful to hear such memorable scores, played by the TSO and, for some, accompanied by the amazing Whitney Claire Kaufman. While the selection was broad, it was too little heavily weighted to older films for my taste.
