This one doesn't happen until Thursday, March 27th, but I'm telling you now so that you can make time in your schedule. The
Annex Residents' Assocation holds its Annual General Meeting at 7:30 pm at the Friends House on Lowther. Gary Wright, Toronto's acting chief planner, will be speaking.
The
ROM is "all about" Charles Darwin and his theories these days, so it's only
natural that they would
select (sorry!) the movie
Inherit The Wind for a screening and lecture. The 1960
Stanley Kramer movie is about the famous
Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, the real-life case of a science teacher accused of the crime of teaching evolution.
The ROM screening takes place Tuesday at 7 pm and the evening is introduced by film lecturer Anthony Harrison, while Toronto lawyer Michael Weissenborn will discuss the legal aspects of the original trial. Tickets are $18/$15.
Tomorrow night at the
Tranzac Club Mysterion the Mind Reader & Santini "The World's Most Extreme Escapist" take to the stage in the main hall at 8 pm for Mysterion: An evening of EXTREME sideshow and escape never before seen anywhere in North America." It's billed as being like SAW or Hostel LIVE on stage. Rock band
The Sevenate also is due to perform. Tickets ($17- $20 ) are available at
Darkside on Queen, or at the door.
The
MilesNadalJCC at Bloor and Spadina holds its annual
Purim Carnival this Sunday from 11 am to 2 pm. It's $7 per family to get in, there's cheap food for sale and you should wear a costume.
Dundas, Ontario's
Caribou perform tonight and tomorrow night at
Lee's Palace. Tickets are $15.
The Art Bar Poetry Series, which takes place at Clinton's, features Toronto's poet laureate, Pier Giorgio Di Cicco, on the 25th. It starts at 8 pm and admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Jeff Latosik and Ariel Platt also will read.
The Randolph Academy is mounting Anton In Show Business next Tuesday through Saturday at the
Bathurst Street Theatre, which is housed in a former church on Bathurst, south of Bloor. Performances are at 8 pm and
tickets are $22.
Of course, it's Easter weekend and the niblets are off school both Friday and Monday. If you'd like to celebrate with a parade, you'll have to leave the 'hood. You can cho
ose either the frivolity of the
Beaches Easter parade, or the solemnity of the
St. Francis of Assisi Church's Good Friday Procession. The latter starts at 3 pm and
follows a route south of our area. It's
quite a massive undertaking, as this article outlines, and as
these pictures illustrate.
The Beaches Easter parade runs from 2 to about 4 pm along Queen Street East from Fallingbrook Road to Woodbine Avenue. This parade is heavy on the bunny costumes/free chocolates aspects of celebrating Easter. There's even the third annual Dog Day Parade, with prizes for the best-dressed dogs.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!
