There were CLOUDS of them out here in the High Park area this morning. I haven't seen such masses of midges since I visited Scotland a couple of years ago.:eek:

Luminato 2010-Pre-sale for Prima Donna Talk about an "early bird special"! I just got an email offering registration for "special access to an exclusive seven day pre-sale period" for tickets to Wainwright's opera "Prima Donna", June 11-20, 2010! I remember they did this last year with...

Sorry, no pics, but I did go. More on that in the Urbanshocker's Neighbourhood thread. Beautiful building! I was happy to see all the landscaping completed in time for the opening. I've been watching this building take shape for so long it was almost surreal finally being on the inside looking...

RCM- Koerner Hall-Gala Opening A swank evening indeed! I’m glad I wore my "UrbanToronto" formal t-shirt with matching cummerbund. I was reminded of what a diversity of experience this city offers; on my way to the RCM, I stopped to watch a little of the football game at Varsity Stadium next...

Albert Schultz Continues to Dream Big for Soulpepper Interesting tidbit from the Globe: "His (next) dream: A 600-seat theatre with full fly potential and built-in broadcasting ability so they expand their theatrical empire to theatres and television Metropolitan Opera-style. And where...

Egad, I wish "dusting off" that old rag would do, but I need a complete makeover. Some really nice mice that live downstairs have offered to help, and there are some birds I know who will pitch in. I'm looking forward to seeing Koerner Hall, complete at last!:)

Dancap Snags Four Seasons Centre For Summer 2010 Aubrey Dan and the Canadian Opera Company announce that Aubrey Dan will be renting the Four Seasons Centre for the summer, beginning in 2010. Dancap needs a downtown theatre, the COC needs the money; since the Centre is dark for July and August...

Soulpepper Theatre Announces 2010 Season Soulpepper Theatre's 2010 Season: Four remounts?! That seems a little much, but I'm glad to see French and Orton represented again this year. http://www.soulpepper.ca/media/46654/soulpepper-2010.pdf

Mimi, or A Poisoner’s Comedy-Tarragon Theatre “Mimi, or A Poisoner’s Comedy" This new musical is based on the true story of La Marquis de Brinvillers, a 17th century French noblewoman who never met a poison she didn't like or a relative that shouldn't be given some. Mimi (Trish...

From Torontoist; some nice pics and a hint that The Lightbox may be a part of Luminato. http://torontoist.com/2009/09/industrial_light_and_magic.php

The Guardsman-Soulpepper Theatre Soulpepper’s production of Ferenc Molnár’s, The Guardsman, directed by László Marton marks (for me) the beginning of the fall and winter theatre season. And none too soon: I prefer my drama on the stage, where it belongs, and not in real life where it’s been...

I wonder if there can be more than one set? I live in the West End and used to see a pair frequently....and then they disappeared. Recently, one has turned up....but only one. He looks exactly the same as he (and his brother) did years ago.

OMG! Was that "The Queen of Sweden"? I haven't thought of her in years. She was still on Yonge Street in the 70's, favouring purple clothes, if I recall correctly. I bowed every time I met up with her. Thanks for the memory.:)

I would agree; at the moment,Jersey Boys is your best bet.

Thanks, Drum118, for the update and the videos;I don't get up to St.Clair W very often and it's nice to be able to keep up on the progress of the construction. :)
