NORTH BY NORTHEAST (NXNE) announces the second round of speakers for NXNE Interactive (NXNEi), taking place June 17-21 at the Hyatt Regency Toronto. Now in its fifth year, NXNEi spotlights digital disruption in technology, music, film, and trendsetting with speakers including the politically and intellectually charged Actor, Comedian, Writer and Podcaster MARC MARON as a keynote speaker and RICKEN PATEL, the founding president and executive director of Avaaz, an online campaigning community that The Guardian called 'the globe's largest and most powerful online activist network'.
Flying House Productions is currently presenting two shows over at the Erickson Theatre that's bound to appeal to all kinds of musical theater lovers. The problem is that elements of both shows combined form a kick ass show but separately they seem only half-baked.
For over a hundred years, Broadway has been delighting, inspiring, and irritating people all over the world. No subset of humanity has been more attuned to the songs, stars, hits and flops than gay men. Beginning tonight, May 18, for four performances only, Captain Smartypants (CSP) a small ensemble of Seattle Men's Chorus, will take this premise to task with A Panty Line: their twisted take on some of the best, worst, and funniest moments from The Great White Way.

Captain Smartypants goes 'native' when a luxury airliner nosedives into the Pacific, the shipwrecked Air Smarty crew takes to the airwaves. It's a taste of homo-comedy at its talented and flagitious best. 'Mayday' turns to musical mayhem as their increasingly creative distress signals attract all sorts of characters.
Captain Smartypants goes ?native? when a luxury airliner nosedives into the Pacific, the shipwrecked Air Smarty crew takes to the airwaves. It?s a unique taste of homo-comedy at its talented and flagitious best. ?Mayday? turns to musical mayhem as their increasingly creative distress signals attract all sorts of characters. Part Tempest, part Gilligan?s Island, part Lost, part American Idol, this show demonstrates just how creative, and desperate, a group of nine survivors can get. Air Smarty features songs by Annie Lennox, a tribute to gay and straight composers, and a medley of songs shown to drive people clinically insane. Peppered with commercials for new and cryptic products, the evening is all done up by a parade of undaunted, unbalanced, and unearthly characters who will definitely keep you laughing.
