Oh Toronto!

Dearly Beloved,

For those of you that constantly whine that 'there's nothing to do in the city' ... I was in a sharing mood.

For those of you elsewhere in the country, head over for a visit!

For those 'temporarily' overseas, I'm pouting, I very much dislike you out of envy and jealousy, and I hope to see you soon.

Enjoy!
Ft

Of Mice and Men
By John Steinbeck
Directed by Dennis Garnhum
George and his simple-minded friend Lennie are outsiders trying to make a living in a difficult world that does not welcome abnormality. Of Mice and Men is a gripping classic tale of two lost souls struggling to find their place until "the best laid schemes of mice and men" go horribly awry. This is a timely survival story for a world that breeds and fears outsiders.

The Story of My Life
Music and Lyrics by Neil Bartram
Book by Brian Hill
Directed by Michael Bush
Musical Director, Marek Norman
Alvin and Thomas met in Grade One. They shared the battlefields of childhood and adolescence, inseparable until one moved to the big city and their lives took different directions. The Story of My Life is a tender, musical celebration of lifelong friends and the power of a friendship that can tie two people together forever, no matter where they are.
