Events Roundup
June 25, 2026
This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot curator/reporter Stephanie Swensrude. Stephanie recommends 42nd Street, where you'll experience the magic of show biz with wit, humour and pizzazz
42nd Street
š
June 18 to June 27
š Timms Centre for the Arts
Come along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway! 42nd Street celebrates Broadway, Times Square and the magic of show biz with wit, humour and pizzazz.
Here's what Stephanie had to say:
"It's the closing weekend of 42nd Street. Sometimes you just need to watch a fun musical full of singing and tap dancing! This play will have you dancing in your seat and humming the classic tunes all the way home."
