Anastasia is both a heartwarming and heart-wrenching dive into one of history’s biggest unanswered questions: what happened to Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov? Set amidst the turmoil of the Russian revolution with the Bolshevik regime on the rise, Anya, an amnesiac orphan stranded in what was once the Russian capital, St. Petersburg, is on a quest to rediscover her past which she believes lies in Paris. Joined by a dashing conman, Dmitry, and an ex-aristocrat, Vlad Popov, who want to use Anya to bamboozle the only remaining Romanov, Dowager Empress Marie into believing that Anya is the lost Anastasia, she escapes to Paris with a determined Soviet officer on their heels.*
 
Anastasia is recommended for ages 13 and up. There is some mild adult content, violence, loud noises (i.e. gunshots, explosions) and flashing lights. Viewer discretion is advised.

Twins Viola and Sebastian are separated and shipwrecked in the unknown land of Illyria. Alone in a strange land, Viola disguises herself as “Cesario” and enters the service of Duke Orsino. Duke Orsino sends Cesario (Viola) to woo the countess Olivia for him, but his plan promptly backfires when Olivia falls for Cesario (Viola) instead. In the mean time, Viola has fallen for the Duke Orsino. When Viola’s twin brother reappears, things get… complicated. All the while Olivia’s uncle, Sir Toby, and his crew hatch a plan to get back at Olivia’s officious steward, Malvolio. One of Shakespeares most beloved romantic comedies, Twelfth Night is filled with thrilling drama, love triangles, mistaken identity and chaotic hijinks.

Join us for a powerful celebration of queer resilience, love, and defiance through live performances, music, and community. This queer cabaret showcases talented members of Canada's largest 2SLGBTQQIA+ choir while honouring the spirit of Pride – not only as a celebration but also as a call to action. Rooted in the history of the Pride movement, this cabaret will champion our ongoing fight against homophobia, transphobia, and harmful policies against queer people. It is a bold, unapologetic declaration of solidarity, unity, and strength, showing that in the face of adversity, the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community is stronger together. Whether channelling their anger at the prejudice we face as queer people or singing a ballad that fills them with joy and hope for a better future, our performers are here to make their voices heard. Are you ready to listen?

Pipo Romero, a gifted composer and acoustic guitarist from Cádiz, Spain, has become a prominent figure in Europe’s acoustic guitar scene. His fusion of folk, flamenco, Celtic, and classical melodies is unique, and his virtuosity on the guitar is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
Pipo is accustomed to playing the concert halls of Europe, and he’s performed at New York’s Lincoln Centre, Washington’s Kennedy Centre and the Taiwan World Music Festival in Taipei. On February 23rd he plays the tiny and phenomenal-sounding Small World Music Centre on Shaw Street in Toronto.
A note from promoter Luke Jackson:
I had the immense privilege of bringing Pipo to Toronto for the first time in May 2023 where he performed an incredible concert that still reverberates for all those who attended.
Pipo will perform two sets on February 23rd, starting at 7.30pm, with a 15 minute intermission at 8.30. The concert will end by 10pm. Small World Centre is a tiny 75-seat venue with an incredible state of the art sound system. It’s general admission, but there is not a bad seat in the house.
The venue is inside the Youngplace building at 180 Shaw Street. It is full accessible. Enter through the main doors, up the stairs and turn left.
