King Lear – 35th Anniversary Shakespeare in High Park Amphitheatre @ High Park Amphitheatre
Aug 26 @ 8:00 pm

Your destination for decidedly untraditional Shakespeare under the stars, all summer long. Canada’s longest-running outdoor theatre event celebrates its 35th year with bold new takes on two Shakespeare classics. Get transported from the enchanted musical shores of Illyria, setting for the madcap comedy of mistaken identity Twelfth Night (or What You Will), to the divided kingdom of King Lear, one of the most monumental works of English drama – re-imagined from a female perspective, and starring award-winning actor Diane D’Aquila.

“You can’t spend a summer in Toronto without stopping by Shakespeare in High Park”

Family Bat Walk @ High Park Nature Centre at the Forest School
Aug 31 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Have you ever heard a bat hunting at night? Join High Park Nature Centre and explore High Park’s amazing and mysterious bat populations. Using hand-held bat detectors, you will listen for bats’ ultrasonic calls in High Park, explore their habitat, behaviour, and favourite foods as they swoop and loop during their evening, mid-air forage. There is much to learn about these creatures, but with the help of citizen scientists like you, everyone can work together to uncover the secrets of their elusive lives.
