Avoid zombification: read the 4-day arts and entertainment guide

Although George A. Romero may prefer that you didn't, we at the Sootoday Arts Page suggest you take in some of the great local arts and entertainment activities to avoid zombie-like behaviour. Although we are sure the television set is alluring, the truth is, being a couch zombie is just not cool.

If you have any other arts-related events or activities that you would like to add to our page, email us at arts@sootoday.com.

(We will be updating this guide throughout the day)
