Today’s Child
Sweet tempered Jeffrey, who is
of Dominican heritage, is an
affectionate boy of five. He has a
beautiful smile and a playful
twinkle in his dark brown eyes. He
is athletic, physically healthy and
of average weight and height for
his age.
Jeffrey attends junior
kindergarten where he is regarded
as a well-behaved boy who enjoys
playing with other children. One of
Jeffrey’s favourite pastimes is
riding his bike. He also enjoys
playing a variety of sports and
loves music and dancing.
Jeffrey is happiest when
following a familiar and predictable
routine and like all of us functions
best when he is feeling secure and
knows what is expected of him.
Although Jeffrey exhibits a slight
delay in speech and language, he
has shown noticeable improvement
in these areas. Jeffrey needs a
family who can be sensitive to his
special learning and emotional
needs and one that can provide him
with lots of love, stability and
reassurance.
If you think your family might be
the right one for Jeffrey, please fax
a letter to Today’s Child at (416)
327-0573 or write to Today’s
Child, Ontario Ministry of
Community and Social Services,
Adoption Unit, 2 Bloor St. W., 24th
floor, Toronto, Ontario, M4W 3E2.

Richard Monette, artistic director
of the Stratford Festival of Canada,
announced Nov. 9 the inclusion of
A Wilde Celebration, a series of
plays, concerts, readings and
lectures celebrating the life and
work of Oscar Wilde, as part of the
Festival’s 2000 season.
“On the 100th anniversary of
Oscar Wilde’s death, Stratford is
celebrating the accomplishments of
one of the most brilliant wits,
insightful talents and controversial
public figures in the English
theatre,” Monette said.
“Since we are presenting the
original four-act version of The
Importance of Being Earnest,
which is a very different play from
the three-act version commonly
produced,” Monette said, “I felt it
was an important artistic advantage
for theatergoers to see this play in
relationship to the larger body of
work that Wilde wrote over a
century ago.
“This series will present an
overview of Wilde’s entire career,
from his beginnings as a poet and
novelist to his triumph as the
author of one of the most brilliant
light comedies in the English
language, to his later
autobiographical reflections and
comments on art,” he added.
A Wilde Celebration will feature
nine performances of a fully
realized production of Oscar
Remembered, a one-man play by
Maxim Maxumdar in which Lord
Alfred Douglas looks back over his
life with Wilde. Oscar
Remembered will be directed by
William Hutt
Another key presentation of A
Wilde Celebration will be 29
performances of a semi-staged
concert production of the seldom-
performed Gilbert and Sullivan
operetta Patience - which was
written as a satire on the-
“Aesthetic” movement that Wilde
championed. Patience will be
presented, with full ensemble and
orchestra, at the Avon Theatre.
The Importance of Being
Earnest, directed by Monette and
co-directed by Paul Leishman, will
begin preview performances
Saturday, May 13, 2000, open
Saturday, June 3 and play in
repertory through Saturday, Nov. 4,
at the Avon Theatre. Patience, a
concert production with full
orchestra, will begin preview
performances at the Avon Theatre
Tuesday, July 11, 2000, open
Friday, July 28 and play in
repertory until Friday, Oct. 13.
Tickets for the 2000 season will go
on sale in November of 1999 to
Members of the Stratford Festival
and in January 2000 to the general
public.
