Théâtre du Nouvel Ontario (TNO) produces innovative, insightful and often challenging French-language theatre.
People who skipped too many French classes in high school can still enjoy TNO productions because English surtitles are available for certain performances. TNO presents “Un (One)” this Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. The Saturday matinee performance at 2 p.m. will have surtitles. “Un (One)” is a one-man play about an Iranian man’s search for identity in Canada. TNO is located next to College Boreal (705-525-5606).
This Saturday, Sudbury Symphony celebrates the holidays at 8 p.m. at Glad Tidings Auditorium on Regent Street. While the audience watches a magical animated film on the screens in the auditorium, the orchestra will play the soundtrack from the film, “The Bear.” This program also features holiday favourites. There will be a children’s matinee at 2 p.m. The family fun starts at 12:30 p.m. with art activities.
