PERFORMERS: we highly recommend you bring your own mics if at all possible. There will also be a COVID screening for all performers. Email info@mattzaddy.com for details.
For a number of years I have hosted Open Mic Jam Night events in my community. These events have brought a great deal of joy to performers, and to music and comedy lovers. They have truly been the highlight of my week for as long as I can remember. This was our community getting together, to celebrate what we love.
I’m very happy that I can do these events live and in person again! Thanks to the Irish Shebeen for approaching me to get these going again
Event itinerary:
745pm-8pm – performers check in
8pm-820pm – Matt Zaddy intro’s the event/performs
815pm onward – OPEN MIC!
– CONTENT: because of this being an all ages open mic, I have to be strict with the type of content I have from performers. These performances will be viewed by people of all ages so let’s conduct ourselves accordingly. What you perform reflects directly on me as a host.
– Absolutely NO misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, hatespeech, etc.
– anyone who violates the rules will be kicked out of the event and barred from future performances
Can’t wait to see you all again!

PUNJABI SHORTS - Sawitri Shorts Theatre Fest 2022
2026-03-06
SAWITRI Theatre Group is delighted to present The Shorts Theatre Festival 2022! A new name and an expanded festival this year to celebrate the linguistic diversity and talent that exists in Mississauga through short theatre plays ranging from 10 to 45 minutes in duration. The festival takes place at the Maja Prentice Theatre, Mississauga from 15th April to 15 May 2022 and will serve to bring the community together and foster a greater understanding of the differences and celebrate the spirit of resilience and resonance of our shared human experiences.
Conceived, curated and created by Co-Founder and Artistic Co-Directors Jasmine Sawant and Shruti Shah, The Shorts Theatre Festival 2022 has been born out of the Hindi Shorts launched in 2018. This initiative was envisioned as an incubator space for emerging writers of short plays, emerging actors who are also often new generation artists working alongside established professional artists to explore, experiment and engage in the creation of short, dramatic scripts and hone their skills as artists performing in their language of comfort. Many of these talented emerging actors are also newcomers to Canada and the opportunity to perform in their language immediately serves to make them feel welcome.

First up, in association with Punjabi Arts Association, are Punjabi Shorts, happening April 15-17 at Maja Prentice Theatre!

StyleWorthy: Mandela Workshop through Art with Angela Chao
2026-03-06 21:19
Paint / Colour your own Mandela designed by Angela Chao

REGISTER HERE

About this event

Since the beginning of this pandemic when my mind is frazzled and so over whelmed I sit quietly, listening to mediative music and design mandelas. I have designed over 50 during the past two years.

In person workshop
In this workshop you will have a selection of 10 mandela to choose 2 pieces. These will be drawn in pencil and ready to be painted or colored in. This workshop will be guided by meditative mediation music as our back drop. All 10 designs will be downloadable via PDF after the workshop.

Materials
Bring Watercolor paints, or Pencil crayons. We have limited selection of suppiles at the studio

What is a Mandala?
A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Asian cultures. It can be understood in two different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe or internally as a guide for several practices that take place in many Asian traditions, including meditation. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the belief is that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards its center, you are guided through the cosmic process of transforming the universe from one of suffering into one of joy and happiness.

FORMS, FACES & SPACES, figuratively speaking! Exhibit
2026-03-06
From the earliest cave paintings to the modern digital and conceptual era, artists have always delighted in depicting people and their daily activities. Glimpses of how life was and is lived are revealed by the figural paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, photographs, and family albums in our museums and homes.

As people uniquely different, yet profoundly the same, this exhibit will engage us in that age-old exploration of “who am I? and “What does it mean to be human?” Held in the historic 95-year-old Parish Hall in Norval, 120 pieces of photography and art by 40 photographers and artists will be on view May 5 – 29 as part of the Scotiabank’s 26th annual CONTACT Festival.

Open Thursdays – Sundays and holiday Monday, noon to 4:30 pm, with events every weekend, including the Opening Reception, Saturday, May 14, 1:00 – 4:00 pm with special speakers and ‘behind the scenes’ displays of historic photographers, Lucy Maud Montgomery and Yousuf Karsh.

FREE SCREENING AND PANEL: BACK HOME AGAIIN
2026-03-06 21:19
This screening is happening at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts in support of mental health in our community on 6 May at 7 pm. OFFA, Bell Media, and Sheridan College, are doing a special free community screening at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts of the award-winning animated film BACK HOME AGAIN at OCPA on May 6th at 700 pm. This will be followed by a special panel focused on mental health and wellness.
The trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz-QJhm5uKI
It is the story of the Fort MacMurray fires as told through the eyes of the animals in the forest and in the town that were impacted by the horrible fires that destroyed the community of Fort McMurray in 2016. On May 3, a wildfire swept through the community, forcing the largest wildfire evacuation in Alberta’s history, with upwards of 88,000 people forced from their homes. The film tells the story, which is told by a cast of animated characters voiced by an all-star cast who gave their time for free, the animals that were also impacted by this devastating fire.
It features an all star cast of Hollywood and Canadian stars who offered their voices for free to support this cause. This includes the last performance by Ed Asner who passed away shortly after the film was made. Other notable stars include Kim Bassinger, Martin Short, Lorne Cardinal, Howie Mandel, Gordon Pinsent, Michael J Fox, Tantoo Cardinal, and many others.
This special screening and panel are focused on mental health and wellness, on the journey of healing that had to happen after these terrible fires. Its also about rebuilding lives, and communities, as thousands of people in the community MacMurray were left without homes.
Tickets are FREE to the public and there are 430 + seats at OCPA for this event. The ticket link is here: https://offa.ca/product/films/back-home-again/
