Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This is so sweet! 😍 Excellent work on maple representation in your selection of treats. 000
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Anne Carson has so many incredible works to celebrate, so I will choose a newer one I’m very fond of, “H of H Playbook.” A mix of poetry, art, handwritten notes, it’s a full experience in the way that only Carson can pull off. 010
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is one of my favorites of the last couple of years. So impressed with someone who can make any sort of sense of this play, and in such a clever way. 000
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I’m so glad you guys got to see the show. It seemed like a very you kind of piece! 000
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Kent Monkman’s new beaver sculpture had the biggest crowd, but everything is really beautiful. We’re so lucky to have a space like this downtown. 030
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The amount and variety of artwork along the paths is incredible. 130
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We visited Toronto’s new Biidaasige Park today and were completely blown away. It’s a huge park that’s been beautifully designed with wide walking paths that easily accommodate walking, biking, strollers, pets, you name it! This is the new best place to see the downtown skyline. 2142
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The song choices were inspired and even included Kate Bush’s “And Dream of Sheep” (!). The final number, Annie Lennox’s “Love Song For A Vampire” (!!!) seemed chosen specially for Toronto icon @meakoopa.bsky.social and I am here for it. 🧛 A must-see if the tour is nearby! 140
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Sasha Velour brought her new show “Travesty” to Toronto last night and it is true excellence in queer art. The projection work was some of the best I’ve seen anywhere, which is wild for a solo drag show that’s an ode to forgotten queer spaces. The vision, talent, and execution? Extraordinary. 160
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 27/09/2026On what seems like the last weekend of summer weather we had a lovely dinner outside and enjoyed watching the rising fulll moon on the long walk home. 060
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It’s that time of year where Toronto can’t quite decide whether it’s summer or autumn. Gorgeous either way. 072
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I am taking it as a good sign that Laura Benanti gets two tracks. 010
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Thrilled that Christopher Manousos’ take on Measure for Measure is back at Crow’s Theatre. Set inside a live radio broadcast of the play, this intelligent production brings a lot of clarity to the piece. The cast is top notch, with each performer switching in and out of multiple roles. A must see! 010
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I admit I’m not a Spring Awakening fan, but I do love Alice By Heart. 010
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026This is the way to do it! Early birds for the win! 020
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Our fall 2026 theatre season is off to an unusual start. For the first time in many decades of theatre-going, act two was cancelled after a long intermission due to actor illness. At any rate, act one of A Fine Balance at Crow’s Theatre was very strong. 140
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Oooh, buckle up! Book Three takes the gross-out factor (physical and mental) to a whole new level! It’s horrifying in the best way. 111
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 08/09/2026These are so good! I love learning more about the history of the empire in every book. The third one is fantastic and very dark. 🍄 111
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 05/09/2026We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. Lots of good spots to see the falls even on a busy day. 070
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 05/09/2026As @imjdid.bsky.social reminded me, it’s bee years since we’ve been to Niagara Falls in the summertime. It did not disappoint! 170
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 03/09/2026It looks like a clearer morning (so far) in Toronto after an apocalyptic storm last night. I managed to speed-walk home in a break between storms, trying hard to ignore the ominous clouds above me. 090
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 28/08/2026It’s hard to go back once you go that short the first time! 110
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Yes! Something tells me we’ll know all their names in the years to come. 010
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 26/08/2026So glad you got a chance to see Blood Brothers! Definitely my highlight of the summer. 110
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 23/08/2026A nice bit of sunshine and glimpses of blue sky before the rain moves in again. 1121
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Ooooh! Any good smells coming out of the factory? 100
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 16/08/2026First time ever in a frat house last night…for an immersive theatre production of Julius Caesar. It was incredible! (The show, not the house. The house was exactly what tv and movie frat houses prepared me for.) A cast of young actors who were all terrific and a smart adaptation. 010
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 15/08/2026A new, clever mystery from @robertjbennett.bsky.social, A Trade Of Blood returns to a truly creepy Empire in its death throes. The more he unveils about its history the creepier it gets. This one, in particular, hits close to our own apocalyptic times. Lots of fungus if that’s your thing, too. 🍄 010
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 01/08/2026So jealous! Marie-Louise is incredible on stage and is sure to be incredible in this role. Also, David Morrissey?! What a cast! 110
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Perdido Street Station is a book I’ve never forgotten despite reading it many, many years ago. Highly recommended. 110
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The surprise of what she brings out from the back catalogue and covers is one of the best parts of a Tori concert. Glad you had a good night! 🎹 010
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Y’all got Famous Blue Raincoat??? Incredible! 100
Andrew Gillespie @adgillespie.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Trying to get outside in between air quality warnings is a drag, but right now it’s perfect weather in downtown Toronto. Blue sky, a cool breeze, bright sunshine. Enjoy it while it’s here! 060
