<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A joyful comedy that flips the script on Shakespeare&#8217;s&nbsp;most infamous&nbsp;heroines</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her landmark play, acclaimed novelist and playwright Ann-Marie MacDonald steps into the spotlight as Constance Ledbelly, the overlooked academic who tumbles headlong into Shakespeare’s worlds and discovers that the heroines (and even Constance herself) may be capable of far more than anyone imagined.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At once wildly funny and moving, this Canadian classic unleashes Desdemona and Juliet as fierce forces of their own destiny and reminds us that sometimes the bravest act is claiming your own story.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Runtime: 2 hours, 30 minutes including intermission.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A Hero’s Journey Home<br>Soar across space and time with Jordan, a young Cree boy who helps Indigenous children with the support of his faithful spirit bear, Maskwa. While his onstage journey is magical, the play is a vibrant tribute to a very real hero: Jordan River Anderson of Norway House Cree Nation, Manitoba.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The challenges young Jordan faced during his life became the heart of a national movement that led to the creation of Jordan’s Principle — a Canadian legal commitment ensuring equal healthcare for First Nations youth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join us for this empowering story that honours the fight for justice and equity for Indigenous communities.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bindia has a fresh new look, but the Tandoori Lamb Chops are still the dish regulars come back for! They&#8217;re marinated in yogurt and spices, then cooked in our clay tandoor, so they come out charred on the outside and juicy inside. Try them in our newly renovated dining room across from St. Lawrence Market: a glowing onyx bar, chandeliers and long tables made for good company. Planning a team dinner or year-end party? Our private room is ready for groups.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s an uncomfortable question, but one worth asking. Because the question is not about IF it will happen, but WHEN.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s about KNOWING WHAT TO DO when something unexpected happens.<br>What if someone grabs them?<br>What if they fall?<br>What if someone is sitting on top of them?<br>Can they stay calm enough to think?<br>Can they create space?<br>Can they get back to their feet?<br>Can they get away?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Old Toronto Martial Arts, our kids, youth and teen BJJ training will give your children the opportunity to work through these situations in a controlled, supervised environment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They learn to recognize positions, understand leverage, escape, regain control and—most importantly—think under pressure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because confidence isn’t knowing that nothing will ever happen.<br>It’s knowing: “If something does happen, I have some idea what to do.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let’s face it, while remaining indoors during this weird time has its benefits, sometimes things can get a little monotonous and boring. And if you have a child, the need to shake things up and provide some variety to the days for their benefit (and yours) is more important than ever.</p>
<p>But no need to fret, because Old Town Toronto has you covered with a number of activities designed to educate, spark creativity, and above all be fun for your little one (with a local OTT twist)!</p>
<h1>1. Get Creative With Young People’s Theatre</h1>
<p>Since 1966 <a href="https://www.youngpeoplestheatre.org/">Young People’s Theatre</a> has been offering innovative and fun programming for the children of Toronto, so it comes as no surprise at all that the YPT’s Education &amp; Participation team have developed the ‘<a href="https://youngpeoplestheatre.org/dramaschool/front-page/inside-with-imagination/">Inside With Imagination’</a> program, a selection of fun activities that spark creativity from the comfort of your own home! This free programming includes video drama activities for elementary school levels and a special storytelling event in which author Andri Snær Magnason reads from his award-winning children’s novel, <strong>The Story of the Blue Planet</strong>. If your child is a little too old for those, YPT has them covered with additional video drama activities for grades 9-12.</p>

<h1>2. Bake Bread With George Street Diner</h1>
<p>One of the most rewarding collaborations you can do with your child is to prepare a meal. After all, they learn an essential skill and in the end you get something delicious that you made yourself! And because it’s currently super trendy, we can’t help but suggest the fun experience of baking your own bread! Though don’t worry about looking up recipes or finding flour because the <a href="http://thegeorgestreetdiner.blogspot.com/">George Street Diner</a> is offering kits of their Farrelly’s Famous Irish Soda Bread (a bread so famous <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uE8apZgnLA">it has its own Facebook page</a>)! Each kit comes with the ingredients needed to make your very own batch of this iconic bread along with easy to follow instructions. And to make it a more interactive and fun experience, you can follow along with how to prepare the bread with George Street Diner’s owner Ash Farrelly!</p>

<h1>3. Create Edible Art With Food From St. Lawrence Market</h1>
<p>Who says you can’t play with your food? Okay, well sometimes it’s allowed and creating art made to be eaten can be a deliciously fun activity. And of course what better way to provide the young artist’s materials than with some delicious foods from our very own <a href="http://www.stlawrencemarket.com/">St. Lawrence Market</a>? Now providing options for delivery or curbside pickup, the shops within the Market are still the source for everything you need. A sausage from <a href="https://www.dilisosmeats.com/">Di Liso&#8217;s Fine Meats</a> or pork belly bacon from <a href="http://whitehousemeats.ca/">Whitehouse Meats</a> can be used with eggs from <a href="http://www.stlawrencemarket.com/vendors/vendor_detail/28">Sunrise Egg Farm</a> to create the classic smiley-faced breakfast. For something a little fancier, <a href="http://www.chrischeesemongers.com/">Chris’ Cheesemongers</a> can provide enough different cheese to create a delicious landscape, <a href="https://www.kozliks.com/">Kozlik&#8217;s Mustard</a> or <a href="http://www.breedonsmaplesyrup.com/">Breedon&#8217;s Maple Syrup</a> can act as paint, or the various fruits and vegetables from <a href="https://www.thamesrivermelons.com/">Thames River Melons</a> market boxes can be used to make a sculpture. Your plate is their canvas!</p>

<h1>4. Learn an Instrument with Mint Music</h1>
<p>If your young one has their sights on being the next Eric Clapton or Joan Jett, they’re going to need to practice and get a little help through lessons. With that <a href="http://www.mintmusic.ca">Mint Music/The Toronto Guitar School</a> can help them out with online group or individual lessons on a wide range of instruments from guitar and violin to bass and harmonica. All lessons are led by a ‘Mötley Crüe’ of professional musicians focused on helping your child learn more about one of the oldest creative outlets in the world.</p>

<h1>5. Get Fit WIth OBF Gyms</h1>
<p>Your kid’s Animal Crossing character may be running around and planting trees, but that physical activity doesn’t pass on to them. With that, <a href="https://obfgyms.com/">OBF Gyms</a>’ online features make for excellent exercise from home!
