| The Sylliad - My Big Fat Greek War Story |
| July 25 to August 17, 2003 The park's resident theatre company Clay and Paper Theatre have announced that they will be mounting The Sylliad: My Big Fat Greek War Story from July 25 to August 17, 2003 in various locations around Dufferin Grove Park. Previews run July 15, 16 and 17. All shows start at 7:30pm. It's pay-what-you-can, but $10 is the suggested donation and isn't that a fair price for an evening's entertainment? As well, the wildly popular pre-show bake oven Dinners by Dan will be served on Fridays and Saturdays from 6:00pm for the unbelievable price of $5.00. Clay and Paper's press release. |

| Fridays in the Summer: |
Friday night suppers These park suppers returned at the beginning of May. On Friday evenings people can have supper at the park (cooked by our Friends of the Park chefs Dan, Lea, Anna, or Amy) at the community oven. It costs $5 for the main dish ($6 if you forget to bring your own dishes from home) plus extra for soup, salad, and dessert. Our cooks use mainly ingredients that they buy at the Thursday Farmers' market; later in summer they'll also use the produce from the park gardens. There are two sittings: 6 p.m. and 7.30 p.m. It's a wonderful way to get out of making supper after a week of work, also to see your friends, to meet your neighbours, to let the kids run around on a spring evening. As a side effect, the Friday night foolishness that happens in so many parks (vandalism and other nonsense) fades right away, swamped out by all the activity around the ovens. Note: these suppers are very popular. Call ahead by Friday morning to reserve your meal, or you may find there's nothing left for you: 416 392-0913. If you prefer, you can come and cook your own supper in the smaller outdoor oven after 4.30 or the big oven after 6.30. If possible, call ahead to let the staff know. Sometimes things get missed, when the park gets busy. A reminder is very helpful. |

| Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays in the Summer: |
| Pizza days are back, weather permitting. Make your own pizza and meet your neighbours, or make a date with your friends. For $2 a person we supply a piece of dough and tomato sauce and cheese; pick herbs from the park garden as a topping or bring your own extra toppings from home. At the big oven Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 12 noon and 2p.m. and Sundays between 1 and 3 p.m. Birthday parties are welcome on Sundays, no extra charge (and if you only want dough and you want to bring your own toppings, it's $1 per person). But let us know if you're bringing a group, so we make extra dough. If it's raining or there's a smog alert, pizza day won't happen. Call the rink to confirm in doubtful weather: 416 392-0913. We'll keep the message up to date. |
