Gossip no longer, culture vultures. We've finally got confirmation on CanStage's upcoming season. Like it or not, it looks like the rumours are true. As we reported before, the Bluma Appel Theatre's rather commercial lineup is entirely free of any Canadian-written shows, which has some folks in quite a tizzy. And as we suspected, CanStage is getting its CanCon through co-pros at the Berkeley Street Theatre. They're calling it The Berkeley Street Project, and......

Minor changes alert! We've got a few new cool things to quickly show ya. Posting Schedule You can now see a weekly schedule of our posts that displays which day of the week and at what time your favourite features run. Dig Wild Toronto? The schedule's a super-easy way both to get quick access to all the feature's past posts and to see when the next one's on deck (that'd be this Thursday at......

Hello, and welcome to another installment of everyone’s favourite film column in which the writer makes up their opinions on the weeks films largely based on what trailers they’ve seen on TV. This week we didn’t watch much (busy watching our IT Crowd Series 2 and Metalocalypse DVDs) so the only one which managed to break our consciousness was the three seconds or so we caught of a trailer for In Bruges, a Belgium-set......

There is a moment near the end of the first act of Maureen Hunter's play Wild Mouth when Oliver Becker, playing the tortured Ukrainian WWI vet Bohdan, grabs Sarah Orenstein as proto-feminist anti-war Englishwoman Anna (pictured, left), douses her in pig's blood, and then rubs the animal's heart all over her face and body. It's a shocking and highly provocative moment, and seems to foreshadow a very dark second act. But that's not quite......

Attention Wintourites, Olsen fan club members, and other fabulously fur-clad denizens of our fair city: It's January. It's freaking cold. Yes, the Weather Network says it's going to be unseasonably warm any day now, but we'll believe that when we stop seeing our breath—indoors. So, when you arise to minus-whatever temperatures tomorrow, bundle up in those pelts. Put on your fuzzy bunny muffs, your silver fox stoles, your Muscovite mink hats. Chinchilla-cape your cold......

It's Boxing Day! Go spend money! If you don't, Canada's economy will suffer and it will all be your fault! You probably don't even own all the seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD yet, do you? You slacker. Turkey explains how well its airstrikes in Kurdish Iraq have worked. Short answer: they worked really well, unless you count regional destabilization and the potential for all-out war in the Middle East as a minus,......

Are you looking to avoid the obligatory office holiday outing, or perhaps the family singalong? Look no further, because Toronto’s 2007 edition of Santarchy is happening this Saturday. In what has become a yearly tradition for cities around the world, groups of Santas gather to spread a little of ye old Christmas cheer. They may begin the night entertaining shopping families at the local mall, but after the festive bar hop, it's like an......

The Revue cinema is due to reopen its doors on October 4th, and if you’ve been waiting for the chance to buy tickets for the opening night, they’re now on sale at She Said Boom (393 Roncesvalles Avenue) at $20 for the film and the after-party or $10 for just the party at the Lithuanian Hall (1573 Bloor Street West). The opening night film is secret, but it was selected by an online poll,......

Today’s Reviews: Juno BY MATHEW KUMAR It sounds unfair to hold directors who are the children of directors to a higher standard than other new filmmakers—but is it really? There is such a wealth of connections and expertise within a phone’s reach that it’s utterly disappointing when someone like Jason Reitman just poops out the latest in Hollywood’s line of safe, fake “indie” films that have absolutely nothing indie about them. Juno MacGuff, a......

We went to the opening of the Kozyndan "Tales of the Bunnyfish" show at Magic Pony last Thursday. Kozyndan are the L.A.-based, husband and wife duo Dan and Kozue Kitchens. They are best known for illustrating The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" single, but they work in both the commercial and fine art worlds. Not only is the installation at Magic Pony a fantastic example of two artists working as one, but also how cute......

We here in the Ist-A-Verse know that we're sensational, but it's very rare that we get a chance to be sensationalistic. This week, we've decided to have ourselves a little fun and try our hand at tacky tabloid headlines, using nothing more than our favorite posts from this week. Torontoist Special Report: Rosie to Trump: "Fire 300 Bicyclists for Fraud!" On DCist: Students Go Wild for Slogans, Secrets and Sexual Harassment The action was thick......

It's a time-honoured tradition of television news: send some reporters out into the city to ask for the Man on the Street's opinion on a hot-button topic - the necessity of bilingualism in Canada, for instance. Little did one group of reporters know that it's also a time-honoured tradition for sassy, stoned ladies walking down Yonge Street [it's at the corner of Yonge & Charles; the Shoppers Drug Mart was a Coles and you......

"Hey kids, let's dig out that cowboy gear we bought for Halloween last year and hum the theme to Bonanza on the way to the Western Days hoe-down in Don Mills! Don't forget the toy gun, pardner!" Suburban shopping centres used plenty of gimmicks in the early days to get consumers to hop in the car and drive out to stores where they didn't have to worry about paying for parking or carrying their goods......

This week our attention is almost completely owned by Cinematheque Ontario’s offerings, even with the thought of Christina Ricci chained to a radiator in Black Snake Moan grasping at us. Not only are Cinematheque Ontario hosting the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, they’re also showing From the Tsars to the Stars, a series of Russian sci-fi. How awesome is that? (There’s more to Russian sci-fi than just Solaris, doubters.) Maybe they’ll do a season......

So you're stuck at home with the kids. Or you're feeling under the weather. Or you're tired of scrambling around at 11:58 looking for someone to make out with. There are many, many reasons why you might be staying in this New Year's Eve. But there is no reason why you can't be a party of one in front of the tube! There are offerings for any taste Sunday night for those who don't make......

Former U.S. President Gerald Ford dead at 93. Not really much to say here: he was by all accounts an extremely decent man who served honorably. (Unless you are of the belief that all politicians are by their very nature forked-tongue devils, which is not the most uncommon belief out there.) I suppose Chevy Chase has one less go-to joke in his arsenal, though, which makes this an extremely sad day for Chevy Chase.......

God, we're so sick of Snakes on a Plane that we want to kill anyone and everyone that makes a "something on a something" joke. But then we realized that there was no way we could ever win this fight, and, hell, if you can't beat them, we might as well join them. And with that, you have the theme of this weeks' Gothamist network post. Austinist makes it easy for us, with Candidate......

Torontoist spent the day admiring the work of would-be type designers displaying their work on chalkboards and signs along Queen Street West. Above is a collage of six particularly pleasant examples. Of note: The calligraphic flourish of “Banana Berry Smoothie,” the sharply angular letters in “Wild Blueberry White Chocolate Cheesecake,” and the decorative ornament that adorns “Special Quesadillas.” (I suspect I was hungry when these photos were taken.) Hand-designed A-frames are interesting because even......

Oh man! This week’s big news in films comes from a crazy place called Vancouver??? We know! Torontoist have never heard of it either, but apparently it’s in Canada! Wild! So anyway, it’s clearly going to be an exciting place to be come September, as the famous for being terrible German director Uwe Boll wants to have a fight with YOU. Yes, you! As long as in the year of 2005 you’ve written two articles......

...but you can't tell can you? On the radio, Sundays from 1:00 - 3:00pm is when you can listen in on CIUT 89.5 This week - a hot show! Blog This! w/ MH - Part 2 of an interview with the editor of this fine blog - Ron Nurwisah In Concert w/ Andy Frank - NXNE buzzband madness w/ Doris Day and "Trent Reznor with Tits" - Natasha Alexandra Final Cut w/ Andrea Nene......

Torontoist is telling you to ignore the confusing name for this event and instead focus on the fact that it looks like it'll be a fun and fashionable evening. The Terminus 1525 sponsored I Am A Wild Party is being held at the Toronto Free Gallery tomorrow night which pretty much guarantees that it'll be fun. But just to ensure this Terminus 1525 is launching two projects at the event. The first is CVP:Trial......

Shanghaiist probably knows a little more about China than the Chicago Sun-Times. Giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one. The city does to have a music scene. Don't even front like they don't. They also have Dorito bananas and white guys shopping for wives. What they don't have is any more tolerance for jaywalkers. Bostonist sees Boston and Somerville each whip out their art and face off. A plagiarized novel is the......

Time to get out that cloning machine you've been keeping around. If the Halloween and IFOA festivities weren't enough to keep you swamped there's the Small Press Book Fair and if that's not enough for you there's Canzine at the Gladstone 1:00 pm, on Sunday. It's also the unofficial launch of the newly re-designed Broken Pencil. This year's theme, Burlesque. Indie Kids Gone Wild anyone? There'll be over 150 zines, readings, Darren O'Donnell and fifth......
