360 Screenings returns with their upcoming and highly anticipated Halloween event
It’s a night at the movies cranked up to a higher level – where the silver screen blends, blurs and extends, absorbs you in and now you’re part of the adventure. It’s an experience you’re likely not to have had before.
And you won’t know what it is until you get there.
Robert Gontier and Ned Loach, the founding duo behind 360 Screenings, have been keeping audiences entranced and guessing for over a year with their innovative movie screening and theatrical performance in one. With a rapidly growing fan base increasing solely through word of mouth and the power of social media, their screenings have become one of the go to events to look out for in the city.
Soulpepper Theatre presents Farther West, a play about a woman’s journey for freedom, now playing at Toronto’s Young Centre
John Murrell’s play, Farther West, the Soulpepper production which opened last night, was first performed in 1982. I always wonder if an older play will stand the test of time; Farther West does.
You certainly can’t help but notice the stage as you go to your seat – a woman and a man asleep together, both of them naked. That’s more 1982 than 2013, there doesn’t seem to be as much nudity and sex in plays now. In the ’70s and early ’80s there was often nudity that felt gratuitous and a lot of gratuitous sex too.
The Canadian Opera Company kicks off their new season with a star-studded gala fundraiser for OperaNat10n: A Night of Temptation inspired by the works of Mozart
Canadian Opera Company gala fundraiser Operanation, a melange of art forms and pleasures designed to draw guests close to the company (and part them from their contributions, to be sure) draws inspiration from the COC’s upcoming season in creating an annual event theme. Operanat10n: A Night of Temptation is inspired by Così fan tutte, a popular comedic opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, coming to the COC in 2014 in a new production directed by Atom Egoyan. Operanat10n: A Night of Temptation immerses guests in the classic story of seduction, duplicity and love as elements of the opera are translated into food, fashion, music and art.
Theatre Rusticle’s Dinner at Seven-Thirty is a richly poetic story of personal torment playing at Toronto’s Buddies in Bad Times
There comes a point in each of our lives when we reflect back on our individual histories and ask ourselves, “What have you become?” Theatre Rusticle’s current production, Dinner at Seven-Thirty, is inspired by Virginia Woolf’s iconic 1931 piece, The Waves. In this novel, we are introduced to a group of six childhood friends who have all entered adulthood, and now reminisce about the various moments that have defined each of their lives thus far.
Filled with poignant social commentaries and heart-warming depictions of personal torment, Dinner at Seven-Thirty is a wonderfully poetic production which further expands on the cannon of Woolf’s masterpiece as, now older and wiser, the six friends share new experiences.
