SHAW FESTIVAL "THE PHILADELPHIA STORY"

Wed, 17 Sep 14 19:25:02 +0000

Photo Credit: Moya O’Connell as Tracy Lord in The Philadelphia Story. Photo by David Cooper.

Tracy Lord is young, beautiful, wealthy, and about to get married. The Philadelphia socialite has divorced her dashing but unreliable husband and fallen in love with a self-made (but perhaps a bit dull) business tycoon. When a cynical tabloid newshound arrives to cover the ceremony, Tracy has a hard time keeping her nuptials – and her heart – on the right track. A classic romantic comedy, the play was a huge turnaround success for Katharine Hepburn in the late 1930s. Barry wrote it especially for her, and the play had a year-long run on Broadway before becoming a six-time Oscar nominated film in 1940.

The Philadelphia Story is recommended for ages 14+

Running time is approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes including one intermission.

And finally, you’ll tour Alexander Keith’s Nova Scotia Brewery, one of the oldest breweries in Canada, in a massive ironstone and granite building (c 1820). Animators in period costume and character bring 1863 Halifax to life in song and story as they lead guests through Alexander Keith’s beautifully detailed brewhouse and taproom.

Arrive Quebec City and check into your centrally located gay-friendly hotel accommodation where you will stay for the next 2, or 3 nights – you choose! Our hotel options can place you inside the Walled City or in the Lower Town, all excellent choices.

Exuberant, romantic Quebec City welcomes you…set in a beautiful natural background of Vieux-Quebec (Old Quebec) is small and dense, steeped in four centuries of history and French traditions. Because of the site’s immaculate preservation as the only fortified city remaining in North America, UNESCO has designated Vieux-Quebec a World Heritage Site.

Start your Quebecois experience with a night to remember – a Quebecois dining experience at Aux Anciens Canadiens. Housed in the historic Maison Jacquet, the oldest house in Quebec, dating back to 1675-76, the restaurant continues to be known internationally for its fine cuisine and warm Quebec hospitality.

On your first morning in Old Quebec embark on a fully-guided food walking tour; you will stop at 7 different venues, sip some wine and savour the aroma of a freshly baked baguette; with a tasting of gourmet Quebec cheeses. Follow the history through the food of the cultures that came through here, Amerindian, British and French among them.

After the tour make sure you take some time to explore Quartier Petit Champlain, it’s a MUST-SEE – At the bottom of Côte de la Montagne, escalier Casse-Cou (Breakneck Stairs, walk down them but not up!) and the funicular (elevator ride up), lies the Petit-Champlain district, a picture-perfect neighbourhood resembling a quaint riverside village with plenty of exclusive boutiques, restored houses now home to bistros, art galleries and specialized handicraft boutiques. Make sure to visit the Choco-Musee Erico where pleasure is not limited to the tasting of exquisite chocolate but it is in itself a true museum of chocolate and of course, Café-boulangerie Paillard inside the walled city; a delicious, mouthwatering, tasty ‘rendez-vous’ joining Europe and America with the best macarons in the world in a rainbow of colours (just for Rainbow High travelers? We think so…)

Be sure to stop in for your Rainbow Martini at Bar Le Drague! – A must have! Le Drague triples as a cabaret, a club and a trendy spot and has proudly welcomed an open-minded and diverse clientele for 30 years running. Multiple zones with distinct ambiances and activities have been set up; the cabaret zone offers shows featuring female impersonators (our famous Drag Queens!) who will wow you with singing, dancing, humor and variety.

Gastronomy is very important in Quebec City and your farewell dinner will truly be an experience – Panache, located in a maritime warehouse built in 1822 is the only maritime warehouse of its era remaining in the city and offers exceptional intimacy and stunning views of the bustling river.

Aurevoir Quebec, jusqu'à la prochaine fois! (until next time !)

Arrive Vancouver and check into your centrally located gay-friendly hotel accommodation where you will stay for the next 3 or 4 nights – you choose!

Majestic mountains, sparkling ocean, rainforests and beautiful foliage all four seasons make Vancouver one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Canada is known for our people's friendly nature, and Vancouver's citizens take great pride in our welcoming, clean, safe streets - day or night, all year round. The largest gay population in Western Canada lives in this ocean-wrapped and snow-capped city. Its gay community is centered on two distinctly different neighbourhoods - the West End (mostly gay) and Commercial Drive (a popular neighbourhood for Vancouver’s thriving lesbian community), both of which enjoy a wide variety of restaurants, coffee shops, pubs and boutiques catering to the LGBT market.

See Vancouver aboard a hop-on, hop-off turn-of-the-century San Francisco style trolley and stop at 25 stops within downtown and 6 stops in beautiful Stanley Park. Spend two hours or the whole day exploring!

Afterward take a trip up the Vancouver Lookout Tower and get a birds-eye view of the beautiful Mountains and Ocean that make Vancouver a paradise, or, take a tour of the Vancouver Art Gallery which offers both historical and contemporary exhibitions of painting, sculpture, graphic arts, photography and video by regional, national and international artists. Later that evening check-out Celebrities Nightclub on Davie Street in the heart of the Gay Village; a nightlife icon in Vancouver, a premier dance club on the West Coast, and has been since the 1980s.

The next day is a real West Coast treat – Step aboard the Sea Safari for an unforgettable ride of Howe Sound. You’ll find yourself racing beside steep cliffs, watching seals at play, observing the majestic bald eagles and other marine birds go about their daily activities. Sit back and take in some city views and learn about this unique ecosystem of the Pacific North West, with an experienced guide at the helm you won’t miss a thing! We’ve included a shuttle bus return, an Integrity suit, gloves and weather goggles for your comfort. This is the way to experience Vancouver!

For those lucky enough to stay on for the 4th night we’ll take you to the top of Grouse Mountain – The Peak of Vancouver! Enjoy 5-Star dining at The Observatory, Grouse Mountain's finest and highest restaurant - taking standards of food, beverage, and hospitality to new heights! We’ve also included the Alpine Experience which includes Skyride and seasonal Plateau Activities like the World Famous Lumberjack Show, the Birds in Motion Demonstration and more. In winter, enjoy sleigh rides, mountaintop ice-skating and access to snowshoe trails.Add on the Eye of the Wind turbine, the world’s first and only wind turbine that allows you to stand in a clear glass viewPOD at the top of the tower, three metres from its massive, rotating blades with a 360 degree view – ask about it!

COMING OUT PERU!

Tue, 29 Jul 14 16:24:11 +0000

Year-round-Gay Friendly Peru High-Lites
Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu

10 days/9 nights | Available: Year-round

Departure: Daily, although we suggest starting on Wednesday or Thursday to enjoy the nightlife in Lima and Cusco.

WHAT’S INCLUDED*

9 Nights Accommodation
Transfers
Entrance Tickets
Activities
Train to Machu Picchu on Vistadome service

*as mentioned on the itinerary

Optional:

To end this adventure in style, we have two suggestions to spend your last night in Peru:

Party night: According the day, you can have a drink or“piqueo” at the most finest bars in Lima or have a crazy fun at the biggest gay disco in town.

Romantic Dinner at La Rosa Nautica: If you prefer to end this trip in a more intimate way, this is for you: a fancy and romantic dinner at La Rosa Nautica, a restaurant located on a pier overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Lima – City of Kings – and a few queens! We’ve created a great package for those looking for something different; a fun and complete trip. A combination of cultural, archaeological, culinary and experiential activities make of this program an alternative way to discover the best kept secrets of Lima and Cusco, like the bohemian neighborhood of Barranco in the capital, or the artisan’s village of Chinchero in the Sacred Valley.

Travelers frequently treat Lima, located on a coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean, as a layover on their way to the Andes or Iquitos, the Peruvian jungle where visitors are greeted with open arms. For gay visitors the incentive to pass it over was even greater: For years Lima was beset by crime, sometimes brutal anti-gay discrimination and antiquated notions of homosexuality.

All that, however, is starting to change, if at a somewhat slower pace than the other large Latin America cities-- Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, all of which in varying degrees have experienced queer awakening of sorts. The city recently enjoyed its first gay pride event, and activists are plotting change. Lima is a fascinating, diverse city of nearly 10 million.

Gay nightlife, a cluster of bars, clubs and sex clubs, is based in the distrito de Linces, cab it there and back to your gay-friendly neighborhood hotel. Peruvian gay men are extremely friendly, and eager to show visitors around town.

HIGHLIGHTS:

History, culture & art:

Lima City Tour: A walk along the old historical center of Lima, one of the largest and best preserved in the continent
Visit to the Larco Museum and its private collection of pre-Hispanic pottery
Cusco City Tour: A visit to its historic downtown
Visit to Huaro church, famous for its impressive mural painting
Visit to Moray, Chinchero and Ollantaytambo villages

Living Cultures:

Peruvian “Paso” horse exhibition
Visit to a local Andean community: weaving and ethnobotany workshop

Archaeology:

Visit to Pachacamac, the most important pre-Hispanic Oracle
Visit to the archaeological park of Sacsayhuaman
Visit to the Moray terraces, an experimental facility for crops
Full day in Machu Picchu, one of the World’s New Seven Wonders

Gastronomy and Nightlife:

Artcrafts, souvenirs and textiles shopping in Barranco, Awanakancha, Pisaq Market, the Amaru Andean community and the Seminario Pottery workshop

To the north an eerie, sulfurous-green sheen begins to ripple into the night sky. It arcs itself into an ebb and flow, slowly growing, then suddenly bursts across the full expanse of the night sky waving and dancing as if it were happy. It’s the spectacular and mystical Northern Lights and viewings such as the one above are common in the Yukon.

Northern Lights viewing activities take place outside the city. A heated, cozy cabin or wall tent is available for your comfort. Hot drinks and snacks are provided. ‘Spice-up’ during the day with our half our full-day tours! – JUST ASK!

ITINERARY

4 Days/3 Nights

Day 1

We'll welcome you at the airport and transfer you to your gay-friendly hotel in downtown Whitehorse; located within walking distance of all attractions, restaurants, banks and stores. Once at the hotel you’ll participate in an informational meeting and registration for optional tours; fitting of winter clothing (optional), then it’s time for shopping and dinner on your own.

At 9:30PM we’ll depart for Aurora viewing. A cozy, heated cabin or wall tent with hot drinks and snacks makes your Aurora viewing even more enjoyable! We’ll return to hotel around 2:00AM.

Day 2

It was a late night, so, sleep in the morning! At 10:00AM you’ll embark on a city tour to see Main Street, the Train Depot of the White Pass and Yukon Route, Log Skyscraper, Log Church, Sternwheeler SS Klondike, Fish ladder, Schwatka Lake and some residential areas.

Between 2:00 – 4:00PM we will bring you to the Northern Lights Resort & Spa. Relax, unwind and soak up the peaceful ambiance; located just 20 minutes south of Whitehorse, this little piece of paradise is the Yukon´s newest get-away destination - a hideaway located in a quiet open countryside close to the Yukon River, surrounded by pine forests and ringed by mountains. Built from massive Douglas Fir and to meet European standards by your German-Canadian hosts, the 3600 sq foot lodge features a luxurious great room for guest gathering, relaxing, breakfast and dinner use with a dramatic panoramic view of the Yukon River valley and the mountain range. Guests stay in the cozy guest room with large en-suite bathroom in the lodge or in a well-appointed 320 sq/ft. cottage featuring a large living/bedroom with fireplace, adjacent kitchen and en-suite bathroom. The spa & wellness area is located in the main building and features a finish sauna, infrared sauna, whirlpool, rest room and a room for massage treatments. The surroundings are perfect for relaxing in the guest lounge, the large deck or the privacy of your own cottage, enjoying the spectacular views of the Northern Lights in winter. The open area surrounding the lodge allows unobscured views of the soaring Aurora! In the evening enjoy a delicious 3 course dinner. After the dinner make sure to stay up to view the mystical Aurora Borealis; watch them dancing either from the hot tub, the open field or from the cozy inside – you will have a great outlook towards North from anywhere!

Day 3

Wake up to a healthy European-style breakfast and spend your days relaxing in the lodge in front of the fireplace and talk with your hosts. Since you will be up late the night before, you may not want to have breakfast too early. Go for a snow shoe hike, or plan a day out dog sledding (optional tours). Enjoy the sauna and a customized massage treatment in our spa; or simply relax in the outdoor hot tub on the large deck under the breathtaking northern sky. In the evening, after dinner, you’ll be up late again to view the Aurora Borealis!

Day 4

Breakfast at the lodge. The morning is at your leisure or you can plan an optional day tour (need to be booked in advance), then transfer back to your hotel in downtown at 11AM or after your optional day tour.

At 9:30PM we will depart for your last night of Aurora viewing at the Northern Tales Trading Post and return to the hotel around 2:00AM.

Day 5
