A
Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts
With an entry awning protruding over Front St like a Hummingbird beak, this place is hard to miss. Book through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.ca) or at the box office for shows like Annie, performances by the American Dance Theatre or maybe the Soweto Gospel Choir. In true North American style, there's pizza and beer available in the lobby.

Harbourfront Readings Series
If you want to hear the new voice of Canada's writers, then this is the place. For more than 30 years, literary giants have headlined at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre. You'll find that tickets for Wednesday night readings don't cost much, but you will shell out a lot more for special events and October's International Festival of Authors.

Toronto Centre for the Arts
The 1000-seat George Weston Recital Hall is home to the Toronto Philharmonia (www.torontophil.on.ca) and the Amadeus Choir (www.amadeuschoir.com). The 1700-seat Main Stage Theatre and intimate Studio Theatre also host ballet and theatre. It's a long way to the top of Yonge St.

Diesel Playhouse
Pretty much anything can happen on the Diesel's two stages: drama, sketch comedy, cabaret, musicals, live bands, even 'Ultimate Fighting' on the big screen. It's inside the old Second City building, and they've astutely retained the drinks-and-food table-service policy from the old days.
