    Goodbyes Are Only Temporary: Danforth, Coal Mine Theatre Is Not Going Anywhere

    June 29, 2023 /

    “We were going to find a place along the Danforth or we were just going to stop,” says Ted Dykstra, co-founder of the Coal Mine Theatre (CMT). The relocation of this admired East End theatre had one priority leading the search—to remain on the Danforth. “We feel very grateful and lucky,” says Ted of being able to stay along the Danforth at their new location, 2076 Danforth Ave., following a tragic fire at the previous location in September 2022. For the past seven years, the CMT has been bringing never-before-seen theatre to this neighbourhood. Their ambition has been to bring highly acclaimed plays to Toronto. Despite the non-existent grants or…

    Review: Edge of Seventeen

    December 26, 2016 /

    If you’re going into this movie thinking you will hear Stevie Nicks’ 1982 song of the same title, be informed that the song, sadly, was not part of the (surprisingly good) soundtrack. They do, however, follow very similar storylines. A tragic death, the intensity of dealing with that loss, and the changes that follow. First things first: this is a story that we have all heard before, if we haven’t lived it ourselves. Truly, it’s not a movie you trek through the snow to pay $13 to see. It’s the kind of film you curl up on the couch on a cold winters day to watch. It’s the typical coming…

    An Introvert’s Guide to a Group Outing in Downtown Toronto

    December 16, 2016 /

    We’ve all experienced it: that sense of relief when a friend cancels your plans, releasing you to veg quietly on the couch while you binge-watch your favourite Netflix series. It’s a fine line that we introverts walk; we all want to be social but dread the moment when that opportunity actually comes up. As an introvert, the closer it gets to the actual act of socializing, the more panicky I feel. Situate that socialization in a group setting and the panic is even worse. It’s taken a few years, but I’ve finally come up with a formula that allows for a fun and memorable social experience while also securing me…

    5 Ways to Enjoy Toronto Arts & Culture On a Dime

    December 1, 2016 /

    There are literally hundreds of thousands of post-secondary students in Toronto. Hundreds. Of. Thousands. On top of that, there’s that glorious period of time following your graduation where you can’t (technically) use your student discount but definitely can’t afford regular prices. Fear not, my impoverished friends. Listed below are many ways to enjoy the arts and culture of the 6ix for the cost of one drink or less. Free Museum Days Toronto is full of wonderful museums to keep your brain full of information even after you’ve closed the textbooks. Most have evenings when they are free to the public, so you can get all that glorious knowledge without paying…

    Chillin’ Out By Rebecca Taylor If you are like me, after a long day at work or school, you like to kick back and relax. Often, just sitting in front of the television or putting on your favourite movie does the trick. But after a really awful day, my all-time favourite mode of de-stressing is grabbing an ice cold beer and reading a book. [poll id=”22″]
