As You Like It

Friends in town from NY treated us to a performance of Shakespeare's As You Like It Thursday evening. It's part of Canopy Theatre Company's 8th season of outdoor theatre.

Performances take place at Philosopher's Stage at Philosopher's Walk, just southwest of the ROM -- a lovely setting if there ever was one.

We all really enjoyed the performance, even our "tween" kids, but be warned: there are a few raunchy bits.

You can bring chairs, or a blanket if you want to sit closer to the stage, and some people brought picnic dinners. Very civilized!

The cost is reasonable, too -- less than an evening movie these days at $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students, plus PWYC Wednesdays.
The run ends August 2nd, so you'd better catch it sooner rather than later.

Cheers,
Vanessa

Eye Candy Friday

For the third in the Eye Candy ROM series, I thought I'd move outside.
I like the juxtaposition of the old, ornate gates and lights that mark the beginning of Philosopher's Walk and the brand-spanking new ROM Crystal.
Cheers,
Vanessa
