Casey and Diana | Citadel Theatre
Set in 1991 at Toronto’s Casey House, this moving story unfolds during the AIDS crisis, following residents and staff as they prepare for Princess Diana’s visit. Confronting fears, dreams, and a longing for connection, the drama balances humour and heartbreak while shining a light on humanity’s resilience and the transformative power of compassion. With vibrant characters and sharp dialogue, it celebrates the courage to hold onto dignity and hope in the face of adversity, capturing the profound impact of one unforgettable moment.
To Be: 2D & 3D
To Be : 2D & 3 D is a new art exhibition at Framed on Fifth celebrating the work of two exceptional contemporary local artists. Experience the vibrant, abstract paintings of Kat Lakeman painter, alive with bold colour and layered rice paper collage that create rich texture and movement. The 3-D portion, Gordon Pengilly brings an intimate collection of clay sculptures—small-scale works exploring abstract figurative forms and pure abstraction with quiet strength and presence. The show runs from March 3 – 28. Join us for the art reception Friday March 6 from6:30 – 9:00pm.
