Really loved Dancer - A Musical In Ten Furlongs playing at Terminal Theatre till Nov 1. Uniquely original, thoroughly Canadian dance musical with thrilling choreography and star turns from Sterling Jarvis & Keanu Uchida as Dancer. Support Canadian theatre!

Some terrific TO shows to see this week: Dancer at Terminal Theatre, Spring Awakening at Soulpepper, Bootycandy at Buddies, A Fine Balance & Measure for Measure at Crow’s, Prophetess at Tarragon, Uncivilized at TPM, Son of a Preacherman at Eaton Church, Reimu 冷夢 at Arraymusic.
Back in TO just in time for Opening Night of one of the most anticipated shows of the Canadian theatre season: Dancer - A Musical In Ten Furlongs. It’s a beautiful show, and deserves a sold-out run with more to come. Plays till Nov 1 at Terminal Theatre.

Early morning flight from Rome, quick transfer in Frankfurt, then Toronto Pearson and drive to Guelph just in time to celebrate Dr. @nininsky Nina Lee Aquino who received the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters at University of Guelph Convocation. Congrats!!
Decided to explore some other nearby cities, so spent the day in Siena, Monteriggioni, San Gemignani which apparently has the world’s most famous gelato, and a wine tasting in Chianti. No complaints!
Final day at Villa Colletto in Coreglia Antelminelli spent enjoying the villa, the view, bit cold for the pool so no swimming, but most importantly, the company. And if anyone is considering renting a 5-bedroom villa in Tuscany, happy to tell you all about it.
Today’s stop: Florence. The Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery and Galleria dell’Accademia, home to Michaelangelo’s David - by far the highlight of the day. Wow.

A day in Pisa and Lucca. Walking around the Leaning Tower, Pisa Baptistery and Square of Miracles in Pisa, followed by Guinigi Tower, Puccini Museum and private dining room in wine cellar at Osteria da Pasquale in Lucca. Great day!
And now the more relaxing vacation part of the Italy trip - settled into our villa in Tuscany for the next few days, complete with outdoor kitchen & patio, private pool and spectacular 360° view, with some of my nearest and dearest pals.
Congratulazioni Gideon Arthurs on the appointment as the new CEO of @HarbourfrontTO! Ciao from Rome.

Final day in Rome. Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum, Circus Maximus, Piazza del Popolo and Spanish Steps, then found some Monday night indie theatre: Solutudini at Teatro Palladium. Great time in Rome! Next stop: Tuscany.
Derrick Sunday in Rome: St. Peter’s Basilica (Michelangelo's Pietà is stunning!!), pray with the Pope (that’s him in the window with the banner praying the Angelus), Castel Saint’Angelo, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, then an outdoor piano concert at Piazza del Campidoglio. Bless!
Way more photos later, but quick recap of Day 1 vacation in Italy, starting in Rome with Vatican Museum and St. Peter’s Square. Then found some theatre at RomaEuropa Festival followed by Joanna Disney Rock Band reinterpreting Disney classics as 90s & 00s pop-punk. When in Rome…
Last chance for TO shows closing this week: To A Flame at Nightwood Theatre, Aye Caesar at Red Sandcastle, Wozzeck at Arraymusic, Pre-Existing Condition at Coal Mine, Life Isn’t Everything at Videocab, and Rutas Festival at Factory Theatre & Theatre Passe Muraille.
If you’re looking for a show with theatrical flair, a feminist Victorian Gothic horror tale inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, a sensory feast in ASL and English, don’t miss Erin Shields’ To A Flame @NightwoodTheat, playing till Sunday only!! Really loved it.
