Featuring Neil Hendry, Jessica Stuart, Jody Brumell, Mip, Emma Hewson, Gail Roberts, Briana Anderton, and Zoe Ëoz. Featuring interludes with original songs by Jessica Stuart and Mip.
The album will be available at the show, along with other CDs, and merch. Chloe will be signing records and taking photos at the Merch stand at the end of the show.

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.
Tallulah’s Cabaret is open Wednesday to Sunday from 6:00pm to midnight (or later).

A theatrical meditation on environmental collapse.
A world premiere production from Bad New Days created and directed by Adam Paolozza imagines a future where we find alternative ways to reconnect with and remember nature.
In a sometime somewhere devoid of nature, posthuman ‘workers’ enter an empty space and assemble a series of artificial landscapes out of found objects, striving with their bodies to recreate the natural world from memory. But is it the deep past we see, or some genetically modified future? 
Last Landscape blends Bad New Days’ signature brand of physical theatre with an eco-dramaturgical, DIY aesthetic to create a slowly transforming, imagistic meditation on extinction, ecological grief, and interspecies care, where colossal puppets of prehistoric megafauna roam free. On the brink of environmental collapse, the production offers hopeful possibilities for how we all might share this big green miraclemarble.

About Common Boots Theatre
Common Boots Theatre is a Toronto-based theatre company that has been creating welcoming, engaging, and joyful theatrical events and experiences for 40 years. We prioritize the creation of new Canadian work that reflects the place and time in which we live, often in unexpected forms and non-traditional spaces like the outdoors. We value collaboration, care, and comedy in the way we engage both artists and the audiences we serve. Our boutique approach celebrates the intimate and intricate human connections we grow in our communities and into the broader world.

Albert Lee Live at Hugh's Room, 296 Broadview Avenue$70 in advance, $80 at the door
2025 will make 66 years that guitar virtuoso Albert Lee has been sharing his unparalleled precision and musicality to songs. Emmylou Harris has called him “A brilliant guitar player. His sound is unmistakable - often emulated, never equalled.”  Albert is touring the USA, Canada and England in 2025 celebrating the release of his new album, Lay It Down, recorded at the legendary Konk Studios in London. Lay It Down is a tribute to some of Albert's favourite artists and biggest inspirations. We love when he returns to Toronto to share his talents with us, so don’t miss Albert on Saturday January 25.
 
296 Broadview is not yet a fully wheelchair accessible venue, with stairs between all levels. Our goal is to fix that, and we need your support to do so - please consider making a donation towards our goals to make HRL the best listening room in Toronto!

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.
