Lysistrata at The Painted Lady for Fringe Festival 2017
Burlesque, Greek Comedy, Glitter…and GOOD TIMES!
Witness burlesque and storytelling band together for a night of slam poetry, songs and striptease. This is Lysistrata.
This new adaptation by Kay Brattan is a marriage between burlesque and Greek comedy.

I love Wednesdays with Stacey Dowswell, Arthur Renwick, Moreno Gomes
A beautiful evening of Solo / Duo / Acoustic music with sophisticated flair at this totally amazing music venue! Wine specials and some cool surprises on the way!!
Moreno Gomes
He is a new local singer/songwriter that wants to share his feelings with the beautiful people of Toronto. His songs are inspired by everyday thoughts, hope, changes, struggle and loss. His first EP will be released in fall.
Stacey Dowswell
She is a Toronto-based singer-songwriter. Her music is an eclectic and innovative mix of folk, jazz, and country that capitalizes on her dramatic flair and love of literature. The influence of a wide range of sources from Billie Holiday to St. Vincent is apparent as her lyrics and non-standard tunings establish grooves that support a voice that can soar or soothe as the moment requires. And she does the best cover of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” I’ve ever heard. Check out her brand new EP ‘Jewels Under Glass’, amazing lyrics and storytelling.
Arthur Renwick
He is an accomplished artist, singer/songwriter, and storyteller who plays bottleneck slide on a Dobro while kicking a beat on a license plate stomp & riffing on a harmonica. Renwick has been performing his swampy tone in festivals and venues across Canada, Europe and South America. His debut album, “The Cigar Box Chronicles” captures the experience of love, loss, liquor, hope, faith, birth and death while living in a small fishing village of Kitamaat B.C. where he was born and raised within the Haisla Nation. Songs such as “I Tow the Line”, “Hell’s Gate Train”, and “Find That Key” offer a bluesy swagger that beckons the swampy south, while “Hurtin Country Song”, and “It’s Gonna Go All Night”, beckon the old country ghost of Hank Williams. Outside of touring the world with his art and music, Arthur divides his time living between Toronto, and spending summers in Northern British Columbia.

Toronto’s live music scene is still happening on Ossington. Come by the Painted Lady for Thursday night tunes.
The Responsables
What started out once as a tiny little trio in late 2009 has grown into a core six-piece reggae groove outfit that brings the good vibes. That said, these days it’s more like a nine-piece! Four part harmonies, a blend of reggae roots, a touch of afrobeat, and some funky breaks, it’s always a rockin’ dance party!
