Top 5 picks for getting out March 16-22

There is so much going on this weekend that I am having difficulties figuring out how to slot everything into my old tyme daytimer — no lie! Check it out:

• Vertigo Theatre presents Our Man in Havana, opening Thursday night and running until April 9 at the company’s home The Playhouse.

Mainstage Dance by the School of Creative & Performing Arts runs Thursday to Saturday at the University Theatre. 

Rose Cousins with Port Cities on Thursday night at Ironwood — check out Mike Bell’s interview with her here.

Curated: A market of + for + by creatives runs Friday and Saturday at Bowness Community Centre. Go support local artisans!

The Festival of Animated Objects runs Thursday through Sunday and features so many amazing puppetry performances, as well as film and workshops … do NOT miss this! And if you need some help navigating, my top picks for the fest can be found here.

• Sunday night head down to Ironwood for Johanna Sillanpaa’s CD Release for her latest jazz offering From This Side.

Check out the full calendar of what’s happening in town at The Culture Cycle. If you have an event you’d like to see in the listings, please email it to me at kari@theyyscene.ca.
