THINGS TO DO AROUND TOWN THIS WEEKEND

Jocelyn Bennett says there are a variety of indoor and outdoor activities for all ages happening this weekend if you want to get out and enjoy spring in the city.

1 — Take in a French language play La Troupe du Jour presents Zero by Mani Soleymanlou. The last in a series of 10 plays dealing with multiple faces of identity, Zero explores the great void. Delving into his father's history and attempting to trace his personal and creative origins, Soleymanlou returns to the inspiration that led him to create the first play in the series, Un (One). The play runs Friday to Sunday at Studio 914. Learn more at latroupedujour.ca/zero.
