Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts

It’s not a secret that Queen’s University is under served by their performing arts venues, as Grant Hall, Theological Hall and Harrison LeCaine are simply lacking in too many key areas to be effective.  Since coming to Kingston, I’ve attended more student musicals and drama performances elsewhere in the city, than those that were hosted [...]

Movies in the Square

One of my four favorite seasons has finally arrived, and the signs are all around us.  While walking home from the Skeleton Park Music Festival on Sunday, I spotted two teens sloppily making out on a picnic table, with two half empty bottles of Mike’s Hard Lemonade.  Summer lovin’, ain’t it a blast.  More traditional [...]

Luke’s Kitchen

Back in March of 2008, Kingstonist published our second food-related post, which featured a well known dining establishment by the name of Luke’s. This local culinary gem is special for many reasons, while it has arguably put Kingston on the map for foodies and critics alike.  As a part of last week’s Kingston Canadian [...]

Kingston Canadian Film Festival

Sometimes my lack of a cable television subscription doesn’t pay off, as I’m constantly out of the loop when it comes to staying on top of the latest local tv commercials.  Today, by chance, I came across an online commercial for the annual Kingston Canadian Film Festival, which is going down from March 3rd until [...]

ReelOut 11 is Burning

There was once a time not so long ago when people thought supermodels were la crème de la crème.  Supermodels were idolized!  Like little plastic dolls, they were everywhere and could be scene everywhere.  If you walked by one, you knew her name.  If you saw one, you knew her name.  Iman, Elle, Linda, Naomi; [...]

He has starred in major productions ranging from Broadway revues to mega-musicals and from operetta to rock opera.  His one-man show, Broadway Heroes -The Great Leading Men,  has played many theatre venues across Canada to critical acclaim and is now being presented with symphony orchestras.”  [...]

On Wednesday evening, we bypassed the long lines at Kingston’s movie theatres, and ventured out to the Kingston Family Fun World Drive-In to catch the premier of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.  For the sake of context, I must admit that I have an inexplicable fascination with summer blockbusters.  Prior to Potter, I’d endured [...]

Movies in the Square

With the terrible Winter and cool Spring we’ve had, I think most of us are really looking forward to the hazy days of Summer.  Whether you plan on hitting up the local golf course, taking in a tour at Ft. Henry, or simply hopping on your bike, there no shortage of things to see and [...]

One of the truest signs of spring around the Limestone City is the re-opening of Kingston’s one and only drive-in movie theatre. Last summer we visited the Kingston Family Funworld on two separate occasions. The first double feature we took in consisted of Iron Man, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the [...]

Ghostbusters III to Film in Kingston

I can still remember my first trip to a drive-in movie theatre back in the 80′s. Although the excitement associated with the new experience ultimately clouds my recollection of the plot, my clearest memory from that majestic evening is of the film’s catchy theme song. As the credits began to roll, we drove [...]
