Look at how cute the cast of The Drawer Boy is! And yes, that is the much-ballyhooed inflatable cow in the background. Have you continued to miss your chance to catch this new Canadian classic? Well, somebody must keep seeing it, because it's already been extended a couple of times and now plays until December 2. But if that somebody wasn't you, don't despair! The lovely people at Passe Muraille have decided to give back to the community, and tonight's performance of The Drawer Boy is going to be completely free for all those who attend. This is a great chance to see Michael Healey's poignant and funny rural drama on the cheap-as-free. It's a good idea to show up early, though. Tickets become available at 6 p.m. and are strictly first come, first served.

Passe Muraille has been pushing its remount of the hugely popular Michael Healey hit The Drawer Boy with considerable fanfare, including leaving giant, inflatable barnyard animals outside the theatre for a few days last week. And why not? It's the most successful play to ever come out of that theatre this side of The Drowsy Chaperone, which has definitely grown a bit too gigantic for a return trip. But The Drawer Boy, with its Farm Show-inspired plot and its allusions to Rochdale College, remains a perfect fit at Passe Muraille, even if its last major appearance in Toronto was at the considerably swankier Elgin. It could be just the hit the place needs.

This weekend, Passe Muraille kicks off its new season by remounting one of its most successful shows ever: Michael Healey's The Drawer Boy. To celebrate the seminal piece of theatre's homecoming, Passe Muraille will be displaying a two-story-high inflatable cow outside the theatre tomorrow at noon.

Another month, another Daniel Brooks show at Buddies. Technically, this remount of the Daniel Brooks/Guillermo Verdecchia-written show that last appeared in Toronto in 1998 is directed by Chris Abraham, but it has Brooks' fingerprints all over it. And what that means is a masterful use of lighting and sound that is almost worth the price of admissions alone.
