life with more cowbell

Hey again – don’t normally post twice in one day, but I wanted to give a shout out to two productions running this weekend: Shelley Hamilton’s A New Hope and the Toronto Irish Players’ The Lonesome West.

A New Hope – the story of the first African Canadian communities in Canada – was created by Shelley Hamilton, who collaborated with Stan Christie on the play. The show is a limited run, in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Arts Fund, with two final shows this Sunday, February 26 (1 p.m. and 3 p.m.) at ING Direct Downtown Toronto Café, Network Orange, upstairs at 221 Yonge Street (north of Queen St., at Shuter), Toronto. Tickets are $25 and can be reserved by e-mailing: shelleyh@shelleyhamilton.ca (please put Tickets in the subject line) or calling 416-826-6855. Reservations are recommended as seating is limited.

The Toronto Irish Players opened their production of The Lonesome West last night on the Alumnae Theatre main stage at 70 Berkeley St. (at Adelaide St. E.), Toronto. This show runs until March 10. For info and reservations, please visit their website: http://torontoirishplayers.com/

I’ll be seeing The Lonesome West tonight and A New Hope on Sunday – back with the scoop on these soon.

Thanks for stopping by life with more cowbell. This blog is about living my best life through the arts. I’ll be sharing short fiction & creative non-fiction, art & other stuff. The arts are for everyone & you can choose to share your art or make it just for you – have fun exploring & creating!
