On Sunday, you can catch the classic Israeli movie Late Summer Blues (Blues Lahofesh Hagadol) at 4 pm and 7:30 pm at the Miles Nadal JCC. It's presented by the Toronto Jewish Film Society with Israel @ 60 and Shlomo Schwartzberg will be speaking.
Rush seats will go on sale 15 minutes before screenings: $15, $10 (ages 18 – 29, 7:30 pm screening only). For more information, contact Esther Arbeid, (416)924-6211 x 606, esthera@mnjcc.org.
A Fine Frenzy plays Lee's Palace on Sunday at 8 pm. Tickets are $16.50.
Monday you can catch performances by ensembles from the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra (the musicians are 21 or younger) as part of the Five Small Concerts series. Perhaps the stars of tomorrow? Things get underway at 7:30 p.m. at the Trinity-St. Paul's Centre, 427 Bloor St. W. Tickets are $17, $14 and $10: 416.221.8342.
Sunset Tours of Casa Loma take place tonight, Friday and Saturday. And I quote: "Casa Loma is offering the rare opportunity to experience beautifully decorated suites in the romantic glow of a sunset. Each evening, visitors will be able to relive the golden era of this majestic estate when it was illuminated by some of the city's first electric lights combined with candlelight."
Tours run from 4 to 7:30 pm, but get there by 6:30 at the latest. Cost is $12, $7.50 and $6.75. and you'll have to pony up a small Capital Improvement Surcharge that will go toward keeping Casa Loma reseplendent.
The Annex Residents' Association meets tonight at the Annex Retirement Residence, 123 Spadina Road. No start time is listed.
Last week we listed some March Break activities, which will wrap up this weekend, of course.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!

What's Happening (Inc. March Break)
It's Varsity Day at the Bloor Cinema on the 10th. U of T students pay $3 admission, but you must show ID.
Screenings include The much ballyhooed The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, No Country For Old Men and Starting Out In The Evening. Great line up!
Speaking of the Bloor Cinema, this in from area artist Deb Wiles:
"A fine art auction is taking place in the upstairs lobby of the Bloor Cinema at 11:00 am sharp on Sat. March 8th.
The work has been up for viewing since Feb. 18th. Artists' Direct Auctions is the brainchild of John Romano who, after many years in the art business as an artist and a dealer, has decided to start an auction house. This auction will therefore be the first of many. Mr. Romano's intent is to sell work for artists as efficiently as possible, to get money into their pockets so that they may focus on producing more work rather than having to focus on selling their own work." [VR: Noble concept, that!]
On March 9th at the Miles NadalJCC, our neighbour, Jordan Klapman, continues with his Great Jewish Composers Music Lecture series. He tackles the topic of Yiddish American Swing in the Postwar Era from 11 am to 12:30 pm. Admission is $9 and includes bagels and coffee.
On the same day, you can meet at the Fitness Desk at 10 am to head down to Nathan Philips Square to skate en masse.
The performers of The Randolph Academy are mounting One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest the 11th to the 15th at the Bathurst Street Theatre. Tickets are $22 and are available through Ticketmaster.
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir, which makes its home at Trinity-St. Paul's Centre, 427 Bloor St. West, is offering In the Garden of Delights: Music from the Song of Songs this weekend. Call 416.964.6337 for details and tickets.
MARCH BREAK ACTIVITIES
Yes, it's that time again... time for the "mid-winter" break. Those with children, gird your loins. Those without children, gird your loins -- and, for pity's sake, stay away from any large public institutions!
The Toronto Public Library has a slew of March Break events, including Dan the Music Man at the Palmerston Branch and an Origami workshop at the Spadina Road location.
And the theatre in the Palmerston Branch plays host to Little Red Theatre's Goldilocks and the Three Canadian Bears on Monday at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $11 and $9; 416-533-8848.
The ROM has tons to do, including a Medieval Fair where you can try your hand at calligraphy and watch some medieval-style dancing. The Bata Shoe Museum has an Around the World In Five Days theme. Kids can dress up in kimonos or saris, paint miniature clogs and much more.
Casa Loma features pirate-themed activities for the gaffers, including a treasure hunt and a pirate show.
For events out of our area, Toronto.com has great listings and suggestions, as well as Toronto4Kids.com.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!
Cheers,
Vanessa
