I’m going to a play in Chutzpah tonight at Presentation House theatre. I didn’t even know what this festival was until a few days ago.
You’ll probably be busy this weekend with the festival, but if you’re free on Sunday, you should come to the fundraiser the OneDance Creative Arts Centre is holding. Check out my blog for more info! http://milieus.wordpress.com/2011/02/18/dancers-gone-mad/
