Listings for February
The 4th edition of the Toronto Photography Marathon gets underway
from the Metro Hall Rotunda on Saturday February 17th at 12 noon.
Over 100 photographers are expected to brave the cold and face the
creative challenge - to capture 12 themes in 24 hours, with only one
shot at each theme.
Each marathoner will receive a 12 exposure roll of film and a card
with 12 themes on it. They must return to the Start/Finish line 24
hours later to drop off their exposed film, with each theme shot in
sequence.
A number of cafes around the City have offered to be Warm-Up Spots'
where marathoners will be treated to specials.

Cinderella
Marquee Productions proudly presents the delightful classic musical, CINDERELLA, featuring song favourites, ‘In My Own Little Corner’ and ‘Ten Minutes Ago’. This fresh and exciting adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's 1957 musical brings adventure, romance, and a miraculous kingdom to the stage. As the timeless fairy tale unfolds, a pumpkin turns into a golden coach, mice turn into horses, a dove becomes a footman, and a famously shabby maid sees her wildest dreams come true. Even if you know the ending, this quintessential classic will still have you asking, "Will the slipper fit?"
