Two nurses and a Baglady, Chapters Pointe-Claire, June 3, 2006

Author: Christina - Published 2014-03-08 12:48 - (908 Reads)

What do two nurses and a baglady have in common?

CRIME

National Crime Writers’ Week begins June 1st. This week is set aside for Crime Writers across Canada to strut their stuff before heading off to CWC’s annual Bloody Words Conference held this year in Toronto.

The first event, What do two nurses and a baglady have in common? CRIME will be at Chapters Bookstore, Point-Claire. Grant feels that this is a fun way to have something for everyone and show off Montreal writers. Authors, Christina Manolescu, Donna Yates-Adelman, neither of them mystery writers, will be joining her at the 1st crime scene. Both Yates-Adelman and Grant are nurses. Yates-Adelman has written a non-fiction book, Yes Sister, about nursing. Grant is author of the spy thriller Race Series and Manolescu has just launched her first adult fiction novel, Baglady. But where’s the criminal link? Is it a crime to be a female author? No way. The connection is a murder in Baglady, Grant’s Race Series fuses terrorist bedlam with a high body count, and Yates-Adelman thinks it’s a crime that young people are passing up a career in nursing. The threesome will be holding up the crowd at Chapters Bookstore, West Island, Montreal, on Saturday, June 3 from 1-3 p.m. Travel directions: Take St. John’s North off the Trans Canada, then turn right at the 1st light.

Theatre Review, Bedraggled, Monument National, till Saturday, Feb 24, 2007

Author: Christina - Published 2014-02-16 11:14 - (1190 Reads)

Bewildered? Belittled? Behind? You need a night out. Come to

Bedraggled

Written and performed by Gabrielle Maes
Directed by Pierre Carniaux
February 16 and 22, 23, 24

Bedraggled follows the rise – but mostly the fall – of LA DIVA. Using songs from the opera, musicals and nightclubs for comic flashbacks, Gabrielle Maes traces how a Divine Diva ends up drunk, disheveled and on the streets. While Gabrielle transforms seamlessly between beautifully drawn characters, the audience is captivated by her story, humour and voice. Bedraggled sold out during its limited run in Montreal and was one of the top shows at the 2006 Atlantic Fringe Festival...

Come and enjoy getting Bedraggled.

Four shows only

Opening Night: Friday, February 16, 8:00pm
Run: Thursday, Feb. 22-Saturday, Feb. 24, 8:00pm
La Balustrade, Monument-National
1182 St-Laurent Blvd.
Box office: (514) 871-2224

Making Life Easier for Artists with new Art Services Kit (ASK)
ELAN is pleased to announce the launching of the Arts Services Kit (ASK), a new tool on its website for artists and arts service providers.

ASK is funded by Canadian Heritage and goes right to the heart of why ELAN was created—to share resources and contacts between artists. ASK provides a listing of arts organizations, a funding database, and tip sheets on applying for grants. The central component is a directory of service providers in Quebec. Our directory ranges from listings of proofreaders/editors, rehearsal space rentals, relaxation therapists, to accountants who are sensitive to the challenges faced by freelance artists. If you are an arts service provider and would like to sign up to list your service, or you are an artist looking for a service, information on training/professional development and funding, ASK is for you!

http://www.quebec-elan.org/en/ask

Membership with ELAN is free to Quebec artists and provides information on events, frequent updates about arts in Quebec, advocacy, and other items of interest to artists of all disciplines. If you are interested in becoming a member, sign up today.
