Event: Me With You at The Toronto Fringe!

Loose Leaf Theatre Company's Me With You Play Preview

This upcoming week is pretty exciting. Not only is it Canada Day on Wednesday but The Toronto Fringe Festival also starts its 12 day run on Wednesday. I always loved The Toronto Fringe Festival - it's fun, sometimes a little crazy, and has a great line up of amazing theatre and dance shows I can see for just $10 each!

There are so many fabulous shows to see, I want to introduce you to an amazing show by the newly formed Loose Leaf Theatre Company called Me With You.

Exhibit: Coffee, Beer & Mosh Pits at The Toronto Public Library!

Last week I braved the cold to visit visit an interesting exhibit at The Toronto Public Library. Yes, you read that right, The Library. The exhibition, Coffee, Beer + Mosh Pits, chronicles the evolution of The Toronto music scene from the 1960s until present day.

Theatre & Music: Free Intimate Performances!

Canadian Opera Company Free Music Series Review

Toronto is an amazing city to enjoy so many arts and cultural events and performances, many for free! One of theses great events is The COC Free Concert Series. The COC or The Canadian Opera Company hosts, in The Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre at The Four Season Performing Arts building, a season of free intimate concerts that are divided into six groups: vocal, piano, jazz, dance, chamber, and world music.

I was fortunate to attend two of these free concerts recently.

Theatre: A Glimpse Into Egoyan's Cosi Fan Tutte!

Heya! Last weekend I had the fabulous opportunity to see the dress rehearsal for the first Opera of  2014, Cosi fan tutte, directed by Atom Egoyan. The dress rehearsal tickets are usually just given out to patrons of The Canadian Opera company, but my friend Jen had an extra ticket and I jumped at the chance of catching this behind the scenes look.

Theatre: Wickedly Beautiful!

Heya! A few weeks ago I was walking along The Path and came upon a wonderful sight!: The fabulous Wicked Witch costume and the ruby slippers that are being used in The Mirvish Theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz. They were on display for a short time at The Richmond-Adelaide Centre. If this is an example of the costumes used, I think I will have to go see the show. Although the mini exhibit is gone from the Richmond-Adelaide Centre, you can still experience the play, costumes and all, until August 18th at the Ed Mirvish Theatre.
