The play alternates between the real world and Tilly's imaginative D&D world, where Agnes encounters various monsters and characters inspired by Tilly's life and struggles. Through the game, Agnes confronts her grief, learns about Tilly's experiences as a lesbian youth, and ultimately comes to terms with their complex relationship

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.

 For their second show of the year, the third-year students of the TDS program devise a show made up entirely of original work, under the guidance of an established director. They choose a theme and their own approach to the material. They may write songs; they will probably choreograph dance and movement sequences. The Devised Project is always a showcase of theatrical collaboration and exuberant creativity.

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:
918 Bathurst is not wheelchair accessible.
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 take this into consideration before purchasing any tickets. We are in the process of raising funds to increase the accessibility of our space and are committed to making 918 Bathurst an accessible venue.  
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

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.

Spencer Mackenzie Live in the Green Sanderson Hall at Hugh's Room, 296 Broadview AvenueShow at 8pm, Doors at 7pm$30+ in advance, $37+at the door
 
With his fluid phrasing, resonant tone, and expressive performances, one could believe Spencer Mackenzie was born on Beale Street. They, however, would be wrong. The lauded JUNO-nominated blues-rock artist hails from Southern Ontario and has steadily earned accolades, and the attention of blues aficionados from around the World. Leaving nothing behind when he steps to the stage, Mackenzie offers showgoers a powerhouse performance, commanding his guitar with sophistication and prowess beyond his years.
For nearly a decade, Maple Blues Award winner Spencer Mackenzie has been writing and recording true blues, showcasing the raw emotion and honesty the genre demands. There’s a familiarity and ease with which he approaches the music, almost as though it flows through rather than from him. 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.

In 1987, Walt Disney’s Danger Bay would bring Zappacosta an episode written specifically forhim titled “Rock Star”. In the same year, he penned and sang “Overload” exclusively for themulti-platinum soundtrack Dirty Dancing and Loverboy would record Zappacosta’s “That’sWhere The Money Goes” for their Wildside album. In 1988, he was awarded JUNOs for Albumof The Year and Most Promising Artist, an American Music Award for Most Popular Album ofThe Year, and named the Canadian Publishers Music Association’s Best Rock Star.

Zappacosta has polished his live concert performancesexposing his sophisticated, intimate and intense personality. His performances deliver a blendof acoustic, jazz and pop music prompting the listener to engage soulfully.

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.
