Julius Caesar depicts the most iconic historical-tragedy by William Shakespeare, following the violent fall of Rome’s most influential leader. The morally conflicted Brutus and the cunningly coercive Cassius lead a conspiracy of senators & patricians to assassinate Caesar in the name of liberty and stability of the Roman Republic, only to trigger chaos, bloodshed and civil war. Through fiery oratory and calculated deception, both public figures and the Roman populace are manipulated and coerced into fiery fits of factionalism. Julius Caesar warns how populist appeals to fear and identity can accelerate the erosion of democratic ideals; reveals how easily power and emotion distorts truth, and turns noble ideals into instruments of control. In the end, the play’s tragedy surrounding Caesar’s assassination marks not one man’s death, but the tragedy of the death of the Republic.

World of Outlaws at Ohsweken Speedway - Tuesday July 21

“Once a cheater, always a cheater” or so the story goes. Izzy has it all; she’s the perfect pre-med, she’s popular, and her boyfriend, Ken, is health sci society 3rd year rep AND chair candidate, with just enough charm (and money) to distract from his raging red flags. She is a ring away from being the happiest girl in the world… until she isn’t. 
Ken seems to have other plans; like making out with ANOTHER GIRL, Kat, their biochem ORGO TUTOR! 
Suddenly, campaigns are crumbling, friendships are forming in the most unexpected ways, and everyone THINKS they have a say on who deserves forgiveness. Will our main characters sit and watch Ken get his happily ever after, or will they finally make him pay? 
The Chair Affair is a high energy musical comedy about love, lies, and gossip. With bold choreography, funny characters, and unforgettable songs, this musical asks a very important question:
Who gets to decide your story?

Toronto’s T4T rave haven is hatching from its ovomorph and making its long-awaited return this February with an extraterrestrial entropy of light and sound. Metamorphosis invites you to usher in a new eon in a brand new venue! The mothership will be touching down at Buddies in Bad Times, transforming the cabaret into a Gigerian trip. 
 
We are proud to present a wide array of hypnotic, otherworldly sounds from a lineup of all local, all trans talent:
 
Hectik and Nolly will be stepping up to the Metamorphosis decks for the very first time with psychedelic musical stylings alongside Mission Control and an epic B2B from Rata and Zellers. Prepare to be abducted and taken far, far away!
 
This is a party for trans people first. Allies are welcome, so long as you’re an ALLY, and not just a tolerator. All attendees are implored to challenge earthy conventions, and discover who they would be in a post-gender, post-human world.

Accessibility notice from the venue:

Unfortunately, our building was designed in the 1950s, and our spaces are accessed via several short flights of stairs. We do not have an elevator.

Please reach out to our Artistic Director and Producer, Michelle Crossman, to inquire about any accessibility needs. We will do our best to accommodate. info@lettheelephantsdance.comA note from Michelle...Creating Let The Elephants Dance was never something I saw coming, never something I planned, or dreamed of. However, it became something so special and has shaped me in ways I never knew were possible. In September 2015, my beautiful cousin Laura died by suicide and this entire movement began in her memory. Her laugh, her smile, her generous soul is in every piece of Let The Elephants Dance. This would not exist without Laura, and I would not be who I am today without Laura. I love you, and I miss you every day.After 10 years, I am incredibly grateful for all the beautiful humans that I have crossed paths with either on stage, backstage, in the audience, as a donor, through our Podcast "Moving Beyond Stigma", or dance program "Movement Heals". Every moment, every person has left a mark. Thank you to each and everyone of you, and thank you for choosing to spend another evening together.
 
See you on Saturday, February 21st 2026

Eric Jackson & Willow River craft songs that feel like autumn—warm, textured, and timeless. Blending alternative country, bluegrass, and touches of folk/Americana, their music is rooted in harmony-rich storytelling and a deep connection to the land they call home.Based in Ontario’s Waterloo Region, the band draws its name from the original (pre-colonial) name of the Grand River: Willow River—a tribute to the area’s Indigenous heritage and Eric’s own Métis identity.

There are many stories in Twin Peaks. Some of them are sad, some funny. Some of them are stories of madness, of violence. Some are ordinary. Yet they all have about them a sense of mystery – the mystery of life. Sometimes, the mystery of death. The mystery of the woods. The woods surrounding Twin Peaks.To introduce this story, let me just say it encompasses the all – it is beyond the "fire", though few would know that meaning. It is a story of many, but begins with one – and I knew her. The one leading to the many is Laura Palmer. Laura is the one.On February 15th, The Bookhouse Boys will guide us in to the deep dark woods with a set of music celebrating Angelo Badalamenti, David Lynch, and Julee Cruise.And potions will perform “Bob”.Come to The Burdock Music Hall on February 15th and find these things to be true.

The energy of his work is infectious, permeating through the listener until they, too, feel the heartbeat of the blues.His passion for the genre deepens as he explores the works of blues legends while simultaneously being influenced by the bold energy of renowned blues rock musicians. This fusion of styles along with Spencer's unique sound in his new upcoming album ‘Empty Chairs’ embodies this gritty, introspective style with electrifying guitar featuring punchy riffs, soaring organ, dynamic vocals and an explosive rhythm section.
Mackenzie's high-energy, captivating performance is one that grabs the audience from the moment the first note is played. With numerous Canadian, European, and US shows performed, some of his most notable performances include the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Festival d'Été, Moulin Blues Ospel, Ribs & Blues Raalte and Kulturring Schöppingen Blues Festival alongside acts such as Walter Trout, Fantastic Negrito, Samantha Fish & Jesse Dayton, just to name a few. 
With an electrifying presence and a new album tour on the horizon, this left-handed guitar slinger shows no signs of slowing down, delivering a performance that leaves audiences buzzing long after the final note. Come see this young blues legend shine at Hugh's Room Thursday February 19.

David James Allen brings his one-person band The Growing Machine to Burdock Music Hall Feb 19 — cosmic country & modern Americana.
With his latest single “Platform No. 12 (Old Friends),” Canadian singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David James Allen continues to show why he is on the cutting edge of Americana. “Platform No. 12 (Old Friends)” is an instant cosmic country classic, and a stunning preview of his next album Jubilation Potpourri, scheduled for release in 2026. It follows Allen’s previous album By The Summertime, which Quality Americana described as “a throwback to sounds of the 1970s… the instrumentation is carefully planned, yet feels spontaneous.”David James Allen has been releasing music for more than a decade, but over the past several years—after moving east of Toronto to the wilds of Prince Edward County—he has been startlingly prolific. Beginning with 2017’s When The Demons Come and carrying on through 2020’s Radiations and the following year’s The Architect, Allen has been steadily amassing a remarkable body of work that stands alongside those of any of his Canadian contemporaries.

Burdock Music Hall is happy to have the sensational Allysin Chaynes to host an interactive singalong for the hit movie-musical featuring more than any one moviegoer could hope to see - a lovable Stellan Skarsgård, Meryl Streep with a scarf, etc. 
Not only that, but you can singalong to the songs, hear Allysin's commentary throughout, enjoy some Burdock drink specials, and generally just have the pre-Valentine's Day time of your life. 
Tickets are sure to go fast, so don't miss out and grab yours now!

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.
