Evenings 8pm, Wed/Sun matinees 2pm; tickets $30; persephonetheatre.org Written and performed by Tetsuro Shigematsu, this very personal story portrays Shigematsu and his late father, Akira, who both revelled in communicating with their listeners but rarely spoke with each other. Once Akira’s health begins to decline, Tetsuro bridges the gap between them with… a microphone. Akira’s fascinating personal history, spanning post-war Hiroshima to 1960s London, comes alive as an evolving connection and deep-seated love between him and his son.

Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox
Some say Bradlee’s reworking of the biggest pop music hits (e.g. “Small Town Girl” by Journey, “All About That Bass” by Megan Trainor, etc.) as lounge music brings them closer to what they should be. And with true musicianship to boot: there’s no autotune with anything Bradlee and his talented bunch do. TCU Place (35 22nd St. E; tcutickets.ca)
