There’s nothing quite like leisurely strolling on a warm, sunny Saturday, exploring shops, nibbling some treats, and sipping some wine. Can this enticing combination be had in Toronto? Yes—tomorrow is the last day of Santé, the 9th annual Bloor-Yorkville wine festival, with several events left to round out your activities this Mother’s Day weekend. First stop for you and Mum—Village of Yorkville Park on Cumberland between Avenue Road and Bellair Street, where you will find......

There is only one opportunity left to see Particularly in the Heartland, a fantastic show from a New York-based company Torontoist mentioned the other day. After its matinee tomorrow at 3:00pm, the show closes and the New World Stage will start gearing up for its next show. Collective creation theatre is so popular in this city this week you'd think it was the 1970s. But if these created-by-the-ensemble plays are going to keep being......

Remember the New World Stage Festival? Well, it's still happening! Last night, an exciting-sounding show opened at the Premiere Dance Theatre for a brief run. The show is called Particularly in the Heartland, and it's a collective piece by NYC-based theatre group TEAM (Theatre of the Emerging American Moment). Particularly in the Heartland is a show about America, so it of course involves aliens, tornados and The Rapture. The last play at New World......

Going to see all three films in Nicolas Winding Refn's Pusher Trilogy, one after another in one night, is one of this Torontoist’s most treasured cinema memories, and although we did it at 2005’s Toronto International Film Festival, anyone who missed that chance can now do it at the Brunswick Theatre (296 Brunswick Avenue) tonight and tomorrow night starting 7 p.m. It’s $10 for one film or $15 for the lot, so obviously you......

It's a fascinating choice during the extended commercial ramp-up to Valentines day: while dollar stores overstock cinnamon hearts, the six o' clock news compares deals on roses and even Torontoists toil at sourcing the best Valentines day activities for your romantic entertainment, Harbourfront Centre's New World Stage brings us a grim, gutteral, fluid, hilarious and unflinchingly human exploration of the myth of a man whose desire gets him devoured by a pack of his own......

This week's biggest opening was surely Mabou Mines DollHouse, which kicked off the 2007 New World Stage International Performance (the reboot of the old World Stage Festival) over at the Premiere Dance Theatre. The New York-based company's interpretation of Ibsen's A Doll House is bizarre and at times confusing. It is also as vital and thrilling a piece of theatre as you are likely to see this year. Torontoist urges you with all its......

The big news this week in theatre (well, other than that) was the announcement of the newly revamped New World Stage International Performance line-up for 2007. World Stage disappeared from the radar for a while when Ontario decided DuMaurier wasn't allowed to sponsor it anymore - the last time it was here it existed on a much smaller scale, consisting of solo shows. But now, it's back and bigger than ever with 17 full......

The big film this week is Terence Malik’s The New World, and by big, of course, we mean big (and by that we mean epic). Though, the full theatrical release does shed 15 minutes from it’s previous limited release for Oscar consideration. The majority of the publicity centres on 15 year old Q’Orianka Kilcher, who plays Pocahontas in the feature, because Terence Malik is a legendary recluse, and neither of the male stars (Colin......
