No, this is not some wacky new mash-up – though an Arthur Miller/zombie mash-up might be fun. Hmm… Anyway, my weekend artsy adventures started on Friday night at Fairview Library Theatre for Amicus Productions’ All My Sons. As I mentioned in my last post, this was a special treat as…

So before I take off into the night/weekend for more arts and culture adventures, I wanted to mention a fabulous upcoming music event, featuring the fabulous jazz songstress Shannon Butcher (who became the proud mommy of baby Charlotte in July).

WARNING: Spoilers ahead. Wow. So I’ve been watching Downton Abbey on Vision on Wednesday nights and the season one – or “series one,” as they would say in the UK – aired last night. The drama of the 90-minute episode was heightened by a neighbourhood power outage during the last…

Alumnae Theatre Company had their closing night performance of Polly Teale’s After Mrs. Rochester on Friday night. Here’s more on the talkback (that happened after the October 2 matinée), from Alumnae’s blog, which I believe was posted by Tina McCulloch: http://alumnaetheatre.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/after-mrs-rochester-oct-2-talkback/

Went to see Moneyball yesterday after my pal Ellen Green recommended it – and I was glad I did. I’m not a huge baseball fan, but I do enjoy the occasional live game and go with friends – who are really into the game – to see the Jays play…

I’ve been one busy little artsy fartsy this week, chickens – an exercise made most convenient by the fact that I’m off this week. One of the things I love about living in Toronto is having the ability to go to matinees on a weekday; I took advantage of that…
