Doors at 7:30 pm and show at 8:00 pm. Doors for the matinées on December 12th and 19th will open at 1:30 pm

December 13 at Ryerson United Church

December 19 at Holy Rosary Cathedral
Here's what one reviewer wrote about their "Angels Bright" concert at Christmas 2008.
As enjoyable as they are to listen to, musica intima’s singers are also fascinating to observe. Working without a conductor, they rely on each other for cues as to tempo, dynamic, and phrasing. Watching them is an intimate experience, as every glance, nod, or smile between musicians is laid bare. It’s also, as it turns out, a wonderful way to escape from icy streets and ease into the Yuletide season.

Playhouse Theatre Co.: DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
The ultimate con is on and it’s been set to music! Lawrence Jameson cons ladies; Freddy Benson cons women. Both men are unscrupulous. After they meet on a train they soon discover that the small town on the French Rivera isn’t big enough for the both of them. What ensues is outright naughty, bawdy fun as a frantic game of one-upmanship takes us on a roller-coaster ride of hilarity.
Starring: Elena Juatco as Christine Colgate; Andrew Wheeler as Lawrence Jameson; Josh Epstein as Freddy Benson.
Max Reimer, who brought us the immensely entertaining "The Drowsy Chaperone" directs. Mr. Reimer is also the Artistic Director of the Playhouse Theatre Co.
