More May listings…
- Sarah Porter’s L-E-A-K opens tonight at the Theatre Centre and runs until Sunday. It’s described as “an absurdist and poetic lesbian love letter to the ocean”. I’m intrigued.
- Nightwood Theatre and Tarragon Theatre are jointly presenting Fatima Adar’s She’s Not Special. It runs at the Tarragon Theatre from May 24th to 28th. Here’s the blurb… “Leave expectations at the door. We are not putting on a play, we are throwing a party. This is a concert, comedy show, and confessional all in one. Come celebrate your mediocrity with us!”
- Soulpepper are opening a run of Athol Fugard’s 1972 classic Sizwe Banzi is Dead at the Young Centre on the 25th. That runs until June 18th.
- The weekend of the 26th to 28th is the Toronto Bach Festival.
- Finally, on the 26th and 27th Confluence Concerts have a concert at Heliconian Hall called All the Diamonds. It’s an eclectic mix of music about the night sky performed by the usual suspects.
Things happening next month…
Here’s what I know about so far for April.
Here are a few more events not listed in my 
Most of the line up for this year’s Toronto Summer Music, which is themed Metamorphosis, was unveiled last night at the Lula Lounge. Basically it’s back to the full on festival with some exciting headline acts, some rising stars and the usual ReGen and Shuffle concerts, mentor programmes and community programming. Plus a few surprises. The festival runs July 6th to 29th in a variety of venues mostly around the Bloor Street Culture Corridor. 
Here are a couple more season announcements.
On May 26th and 27th in the MacMillan Theatre there’s a chance to see Haydn’s rarely performed Orfeo: L’anima del filosofo. It was composed for London in 1791 but was shut down during rehearsals because the Lord Chamberlain’s office thought it subversively supportive of enlightenment values at a time when Pitt’s government was cracking down brutally on pro French Revolutionary sentiment in the UK.
