“A night of Neil Young, great food and drink and music to warm you up on Thanksgiving weekend,” promises Hewitt, as we remember that The Last Waltz was filmed on the American version of the gratitude holiday way back in 1976 before anyone knew what a “Darth Vader” was.

Should be a fine harvest of memories, old and new.

Details: 7 p.m. at Blue Chair Café (9624 76 Ave.), $20.

Orlando: Ron Jenkins directs this Studio Theatre production of Orlando — the story of a poet who flips genders back and forth through centuries of living, writhing around key figures in literary history.

Virginia Woolf’s book was published nearly a century back, and the play was happily adapted by American playwright Sarah Ruhl, who embraces the lightness and notes of the source material.

“It’s such a theatrical romp. There’s so much joy in that book, and so much love of language, and so much love. I jumped at the chance to adapt it.”

Studio Theatre features the graduating BFA acting class in several productions a year, but this one is especially poignant right now as the culture wars raise dust.

Opening 7:30 p.m. Friday, the play runs nightly through Oct. 19 except Oct. 13 and 14, with matinees at 12:30 p.m. Oct. 17 and at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 19.

Details: Friday through Oct. 19 at Timms Centre (87 Avenue and 112 Street), $28 adult, $14 student at timmscentre.ca.

Matt and Mara (2024): Struggling with a new baby and a distracted husband, Mara (Deragh Campbell) starts hanging out with old college pal Matt (Matt Johnson) — but what sort of relationship is happening here, exactly?

Director Kazik Radwanski reunites his acclaimed Anne at 13,000 feet stars in this bittersweet, funny drama shown at TIFF earlier this year.
