Another great week is in store for Ottawa. Festival season continues with Veg Fest on Saturday/Sunday at the RA Centre, the 2^nd annual Eve Film Festival at Arts Court is on Friday to Sunday and Festi-Biere at the Museum of History in Gatineau runs Thursday to Sunday. It’s also a sports heavy week in the city with two Fury FC matches, Wednesday and Saturday, The Champions have a three-game series starting Friday, including Mexican night at the park on Sunday, and the Redblacks have their first game of the season, it’s a pre-season game, but it’s here!!

Theatre is once again very busy this week. At The Gladstone, Miss Shakespeare continues on Tuesday night and runs until Saturday. Love and Other Things is playing at the NAC from Wednesday until Friday, and Orpheus’ production of Mamma Mia! starts at Centrepointe on Friday and is on until June 10^th. I will be attending Friday night to provide a review for your enjoyment if you’re considering tickets!

My top three picks of the week (unique events theme):

• Doors Open Ottawa (Saturday/Sunday – various locations (see website))
• Tribe Called Red Concert (Friday, Victoria Island)
• National Beaver Tail Day (Friday, BeaverTails, Byward Market)

Announcements:

• Last week, I attended the Suzart Production of James and the Giant Peach. It was such a great production! My review can be found here!
• Cityfolk festival was announced last week, if you missed it, you can see the full line up here!
