Ancient Greece / right here + now
The plan will always feel like a mistake. Practice the mistake. 
A lecture on Antonio Banderas’ astrological chart, a chorus questioning their calling, and a long walk in a small mortal body. Jill Connell’s poetics work backward, interlacing Greek myth and the grindset, trying to figure out how we got here. The Herald navigates the choreography of labour as it asks us for faith and gives us something like meaning, or at least a new way of paying attention. By the end of the play, all of us will know how to be in Shoppers Drug Mart, wondering how to handle time, and what will happen to all the work we do not make.

About It Could Still HappenIt Could Still Happen is a theatre collective that has been working together since 2013. Founded by Jill Connell, our shows are based on formally-innovative texts that approach the embodied experience of how things feel, prioritizing bold aesthetics and the space we’re in. We value long-term creation processes that invite experimentation, trust, group work, and care. We aim to offer performances that have a startling sense of aliveness and possibility; that are as ferocious as they are tender. Past productions include The Supine Cobbler and HROSES: Outrage à raison, both performed in abandoned warehouses prior to becoming condos. We’ve been making The Herald since 2019, asking: what if not knowing yet can be a way of working?

Bill Charlap & Renee Rosnes Live in the Green Sanderson Hall at Hugh's Room, 296 Broadview AvenueShow at 730pm, Doors at 630pm$60+ in advance, $67+at the door
It is with no small dosage of irony that highly acclaimed jazz pianists Bill Charlap and ReneeRosnes close their dynamic new duo piano album with the timeless standard “Never Will IMarry.” Marry, they have, and happily marry, they do, in musical terms on Double Portrait,a high point in their respective careers, and the first recorded example of what must beconsidered one of the finest and most empathetic piano duos in jazz history. Double Portrait is awork of significance and depth, but also flows with the casual and organic quality of musicianswith an uncommon simpatico, in life as well as in art.
Double Portrait is the latest, and another proud entry, in a series of stellar projects on Blue Notefor Charlap in the past decade, including readings of music by Leonard Bernstein and GeorgeGershwin, and another special family project, with his mother, singer Sandy Stewart. In anothermusical family tree link, the pianist’s father was famed Broadway composer Moose Charlap.Charlap the Younger has earned the respect of critics and discerning listeners, and the praise ofmusicians such as Tony Bennett, whom the pianist has also worked with.
Rosnes, who originally hails from Vancouver, has been a prominent figure in NYC and theinternational jazz scene for many years. She has recorded fourteen fine albums as a leader,nine of them for Blue Note, and has been the pianist of choice for such artists as JoeHenderson, Wayne Shorter, JJ Johnson and Bobby Hutcherson. Rosnes is also a foundingmember of the dynamic SFJAZZ Collective, with whom she performed and recorded for sixyears. Both pianists have been praised for representing the upper echelon of contemporary jazzpiano aesthetics.
Fittingly, TIME magazine once noted in a review that Charlap “approaches a song theway a lover approaches his beloved. He wants to view it from every angle – melody, harmony,lyrics, verse.” Rosnes was cited by the New York Times as “a virtuoso,” also noting that, in aconcert, “no rhythmic inflection went unexplored.”
After marrying in 2007, the couple has subsequently performed live in duo format, and withDouble Portrait, says Charlap, “finally, the time came that we were able to set it down forposterity. Itʼs a natural for us, both being admirers of each otherʼs work. The chemistry we haveas husband and wife is naturally reflected in our music, and likewise, the chemistry we have asmusicians is a part of our lives together.”
Double Portrait winds up being a unique expression of the artistry of each player, and anadded third persona rises out of the interactive blend of the two players. For repertoire, thecouple selected a diverse yet perfectly coherent range of material to explore and find mutualexpression on. While both musicians continue to tend to their personal musical lives andprojects, the Charlap Rosnes piano duo persona is now officially an ongoing venture,documented for the first time and for the ages.

Step behind the curtain of Hollywood magic with master shoemaker Jeff Churchill, founder of Jitterbug Boy Footwear. Known for crafting iconic shoes for some of the biggest films and musicals—including Wicked, Superman, Jurassic World, Oppenheimer, Spider-Man numerous Marvel blockbusters and many, many more. Jeff’s creations have helped bring beloved characters to life, one step at a time.
 In this fascinating talk, Jeff will share stories from his workshop, insights into the artistry and precision behind bespoke movie footwear, and a glimpse into what it takes to design shoes that balance fantasy with function. Whether for superheroes, villains, or Broadway stars, his work combines imagination, craftsmanship, and storytelling.
 Join us for this exclusive conversation at the Bata Shoe Museum, where film, fashion, and craft meet. Ticket includes museum access.
 About the Artist
For over 25 years, Jeff Churchill has been crafting extraordinary footwear that brings characters to life. His journey into shoemaking began almost by accident — after spending his teens immersed in theatre, a twist of fate led him to the world of shoes, where he’s been ever since. Two decades ago, Jeff returned home to Toronto and founded Jitterbug Boy Original Footwear. What began as a small operation focused on circus and theatre productions soon grew into something much bigger. As his reputation for precision and creativity spread, Jeff’s work caught the attention of the film and television industries — and the rest is history. Today, Jitterbug Boy is a go-to destination for productions around the world, creating custom footwear for everything from superhero blockbusters to award-winning period dramas to beloved indie films. His shoes have appeared on the biggest stars, in the biggest movies — Pretty good for a little workshop in Toronto.

Medusa Quartet cross-pollinates traditional music from around the world with original tunes, engaging stories, and their one-of-a-kind stringed instruments to create a "must-see live show!"

Closing out the night is our production of Harlow’s Rhesus Monkey!!
Synopsis:
Lila (late 20s) finds herself back in Toronto for a conference. She tells us about all the reasons she’s not happy to be back but the truth is it’s not the city she’s anxious about. It’s one person. Her mom: Ana. Harlow's Rhesus Monkey explores difficult questions around childhood sexual trauma and parent-child enmeshment and questions the societal norms that push women into unsafe situations. This memory play hinges on Lila’s ability to self-evaluate her needs and wants to make difficult decisions for herself.

Sit back as wave after wave of seductive sentences and stimulating stanzas swell to climax around you. Ejaculate your cries of pleasure and appreciation as each performer finishes. Grab a bracing beverage from the bar, take a steadying swig and gird your loins for more. There won’t be a dry seat in the house!

Like its ambisextrous namesake, Buddies’ in-house bar and performance space Tallulah’s Cabaret does it all. It’s throbbing club nights and community tap dance lessons. High-concept drag and low-stakes open mics. Go for pre-drinks but stay late for the post-show discourse—maybe even spark that next collaboration. With local brews and sober options that aren’t an after-thought, Tallulah’s is the come-as-you-are bar for old friends, new lovers, partiers, poets, and curious passerby. See you under the chandeliers.

Welcome to Toronto, a city where skyscrapers touch the sky and breathtaking lake views await! Indulge in the diverse food scene where poutine and sushi become the perfect pair. Take your bravery to new heights at the iconic CN Tower and soak up the vibrant entertainment in downtown.

Bienvenue à Toronto, où la devise non officielle de la ville est "Désolé, pas désolé", alors que les habitants jonglent avec la lutte quotidienne de se précipiter au travail tout en renversant leur café double-double de chez Tim Hortons sur eux-mêmes. Découvrez le phénomène magique de la capacité des Torontoniens à se plaindre à la fois de la chaleur écrasante et du froid glacial dans la même semaine, mettant en valeur leur remarquable talent pour les doléances liées aux conditions météorologiques. Et ne manquez pas le spectacle exaltant de regarder les habitants se livrer à une bataille féroce pour les sièges du tramway, où les coups de coude et les regards assassins font simplement partie du trajet quotidien.

This weekend
