🐝 Review: The Birds and the Bees is soon to be a Canadian classic

Written by Canadian theatre actor and playwright, Mark Crawford, The Birds and the Bees at Ottawa Little Theatre is a charming comedy about everything awkward, embarrassing and hilarious about having a late-in-life sexual awakening.🐦

🎭 The play is set in the farmhouse of Gail Bickers, a lonely beekeeper who clashes with her daughter when she comes home after her marriage, like many of Gail’s bee colonies, has collapsed.

🎬 The lovely spring weather is coaxing people outside, so watching films may not be at the top of your to-do list, so let’s see what’s on at the ByTowne and the Mayfair to tempt you indoors. There seems to be a bumper crop of films from the vault, and a few new surprises in store.

✔️Ghost in the Shell - Japanese director Mamoru Oshii’s award-winning 1995 cyber-tech animated thriller is screening at The Mayfair
✔️The Christophers - Our in-house film expert calls this a "masterclass in direction and acting"
✔️10 Things I Hate About You -Prom attire is encouraged for this teenage classic! There’s spiked/non-spiked punch and a pre-film drag performance included
✔️Ponyo - This charming 2009 animated feature from the Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki is sure to delight you
✔️Blue Heron - A Canadian film told from the point of view of an eight-year-old girl whose family is being torn apart by the increasingly odd behaviour of the eldest son
✔️ Shrek - The ByTowne is showing everyone's favourite swamp dweller in their Drunken Cinema series
✔️Farewell, My Concubine -The 1993 historical melodramatic epic won Cannes’ Palme d’Or

✔️The Mayfair's Wes Anderson film festival continues to bring more silliness to the screen with a triple threat month including: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Darjeeling Limited

✔️ The ByTowne is presenting Canadian documentary "The End of the Internet" as a hybrid screening experience that combines traditional cinema with an interactive installation inside the theatre, for something completely different!

💖If you’re familiar with Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 pop-culture hit movie Moulin Rouge!, then you’re in for a treat with the musical version from Broadway Across Canada at the National Arts Centre, which follows the same fantastic story, but has updated music and songs and some spectacular staging, immersing audiences into the Parisian tale!🎪

💃 The ensemble elevates every number and fills the stage to every corner. Join the bohemian revolution, indulge in the sparkle and grandeur, but above all, bask in a story of love down at the Moulin Rouge! at the NAC until May 17th.

🏡 Fun Home, the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, explores the author’s childhood, family dynamics, and sexuality.

🎭 Based on the groundbreaking graphic novel by Alison Bechdel, the story of Fun Home is poignant, relevant, and profoundly moving — the show is a beautiful exploration of what it means to be human.

TotoToo Theatre brings this emotional, funny, and ambitious production to the Gladstone this month, so we chatted with director Rebecca Russell to learn more.🎶

⚾The Ottawa Titans have started the 2026 season with a record-setting sellout!

Spring has sprung, and baseball is back.For the first time since 2002, the Ottawa Stadium was completely sold out, with over 10,278 tickets sold, setting a new Frontier League attendance record on Friday.

Who are our returning stars? Is fan favourite Jackie Urbaez still stealing hearts in the 613? 🌭Have they brought back twoonie hotdogs? What's the beer selection like? Can I bring my dog? Has the team posted any internet-breaking thirst traps yet?🔥 (oh yes)

For all this and SO much more, check out our Ottawa Titans Season Preview on our website. Link in bio!🔗
