Soul pepper - The Testament of Mary

Great story and exceptional performance by Nancy Palk. A different twist on a familiar tale, with unexpected turns, as told by Jesus' mother.

Soulpepper - The Heidi Chronicles

Excellent show and one the boomers in the audience can easily identify with.‎ Being on the tail end, I didn't really see myself in any of these characters, but I have vivid memories of the times that were evoked. Michelle Monteith was awesome as Heidi, supported by a very strong cast.

TIFF - Members Summer Season Launch

It was definitely worth attending this event. Feted with some coffee and goodies, we heard from member engagement and programming about upcoming member events and movie releases. There is quite the summer line-up and I can't wait to start planning my TIFF visits! 

TSO Pops - Music of John Williams

With over 50 Oscar nominations and 5 wins, it's pretty clear why ‎the music of John Williams is an excellent choice for a night at the symphony. As If hearing our favourites from Jaws, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc. wasn't enough, we were treated to the recently released score for a medley from Star Wars - The Force Awakens. Awesome!

Mirvish - Forever Plaid

Not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. Tagging along with my friends to what I thought might be an old fashioned show, I was pleasantly surprised. The campy humour, great harmonies, slapstick and choreography made for a really fun show. Great for a fun night out with friends!

Art of Time Ensemble - Hawksley Workman

We loved the Hawksley' style, he really connected with the audience - he was so chill. As usual, Burashko assembled first class musicians all around, particularly the sax player, Phil Dwyer.‎ Art of Time Songbook concerts (Bruce Cockburn featured today) never disappoints.

TJIF - Double Bill

The Numbers Guy - you never know what fascinating stories ‎are lurking out there. Our favourite cashier at the Big Carrot has a very unique and charming skill, that he has honed over many years. A beautiful film about a very interesting character.

That Crazy Daughter - another interesting life story - what it was like to grow up black and Jewish and with somewhat dysfunctional parents. Told through narrative and with clips of Rain Pryor's stand up comedy act, this movie is definitely worth seeing.
