Fairview
at Canadian Stage, 26 Berkeley St., Toronto
March 4 through 26
After its stunning sell-out NYC debut, Canadian Stage and Obsidian Theatre are proud to mount the first Canadian production of Jackie Sibblies Drury's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama.
In Fairview, the Frasier household is preparing for Grandma's birthday party, but not everything is as it seems. While Beverly holds on to her sanity by a thread, her sister can't be bothered to help, her brother is MIA, her husband doesn't seem to listen... and the party guests are more than unexpected.
A radical examination of power, Fairview confronts notions of theatre, race, and surveillance.

The Book Of Mormon
at Budweiser Gardens, 99 Dundas St., London
The Book of Mormon follows two young missionaries who are sent to Uganda to try to convert citizens to the Mormon religion. One missionary, Elder Price, is an enthusiastic go-getter with a strong dedication to his faith, while his partner, Elder Cunningham, is a socially awkward but well meaning nerd whose tendency to embroider the truth soon lands him in trouble. Upon their arrival in Africa, Elders Price and Cunningham learn that in a society plagued by AIDS, poverty and violence, a successful mission may not be as easy as they expected.

YAMATO: The Drummers of Japan -'Tenmei'
at Massey Hall, 178 Victoria St., Toronto
From Nara Prefecture in Japan, YAMATO The Drummers of Japan bring their captivating and high-energy performance to Massey Hall as part of their Tenmei tour!
This exhilarating performance begins with a group of dozens of players hitting a Japanese taiko drum made from a large 400 year-old tree. They move their whole bodies to strike the drum with everything in their souls, creating a powerful surge of energy. Their live performances are so full of intensity that they make people's bodies jump and their hearts race faster. Audiences are overwhelmed by the beat of the music as their bodies are uplifted in sync with the powerful sounds. The group is able to exhibit great originality and innovation through this traditional Japanese musical instrument, the wadaiko (Japanese drum). This is the epitome of the Japanese spirit, a roaring sound that will make you experience new exciting adventures.

She is also a Gemini Award and Dora Award-winning actor who has appeared in numerous musical theatre productions, films, and television series.

When childhood friends Kwame and Will reunite in Ghana for the funeral of a loved one, they realize just how much has changed since the events that separated them 25 years earlier.
As they struggle with the urge to keep stories from the past buried and the desire to connect, resurfaced memories set them on a journey to discover a truth that neither of them expected. Blending together styles of West African and Canadian theatre, Maanomaa mixes myth with reality, and the past with the present.
April 11 - 30
