| TORONTO LIVE
THEATRE 2012... No matter what the state of the economy dictates,
history has shown that at times like these, many try to escape the news of gloom and doom
by transferring their energy and thoughts into something more positive and entertaining.
Live theatre is a great getaway and a sure alternative to taking in a movie. The
difference is that you have actors who are taking you on a journey in real time - live and
in person.
In the new issue of our on-line magazine CURTAINS UP, we have compiled a comprehensive
and condensed a listing of live theatre productions including dinner theatre, dance,
comedy, plays, theatre for kids and family, opera, theatre festivals and musicals. You
will find that many of these productions are very affordable. As you can see, there is
definitely no shortage of stage productions you can enjoy throughout the year. We
encourage you to make live theatre-going a part of your social calendar. |

| TORONTO THEATRE
SUPERGUIDE...  HOToronto is proud to provide the following

areas. This HOToronto Guide to theatre is a comprehensive list of current and upcoming
