Presenting: The Dining Room, by Dramatis Personae, May 5, 6, 13, 2012

Author: Christina - Published 2012-04-28 16:39 - (3875 Reads)

The Dining Room

The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions.

The action is a mosaic of interrelated scenes—some funny, some touching, some rueful—which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP. The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids.

Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy returns from boarding school to discover his mother's infidelity; a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Thanksgiving dinner; a daughter, her marriage a shambles, pleads futilely to return home, etc.

Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.

Venue:
Victoria Hall,

Westmount, Quebec

World Premiere of TO BE, by Persephone Productions, April 26 - May 5, 2012

Author: Christina - Published 2012-04-24 20:30 - (3469 Reads)

To Be

World Première: An exciting new musical written by Montrealers and set in Montreal. People who have seen it in production are giving it rave reviews!

Featuring original music and the integration of selections from William Shakespeare's masterpieces. Set in Montreal, 'To Be' is the story of Adam, a young man discovering what it means to be true 'to thine own self.' Suffering through a rough patch with love a friend brings him out to a night on the town. That evening, much to his surorise he falls in love with another man. As this strange, new relationship blossoms, Adam is confronted by the ghosts of his past. The not-so-smooth course that lies ahead makes him probe questions that resound in the lives of Generation Y: What does it mean to be in love? To be a man? To be gay? And finally, simply, to be?

La Petite Fée fête ses cinq ans au Salon !

Author: Christina - Published 2011-11-11 20:58 - (1377 Reads)
La Petite Fée fête ses cinq ans au Salon !

C'est avec grand plaisir que La Petite Fée vous invite à découvrir les poètes de la relève et à célébrer ses cinq ans sur la scène poétique québécoise au stand # 204 lors du 29e Salon du livre de Montréal ! L'événement, auquel la maison d'édition artisanale participe pour la première fois cette année, aura lieu du 16 au 20 novembre 2006 à la Place Bonaventure. Plusieurs activités ont été organisées pour souligner le cinquième anniversaire de La Petite Fée, dont deux courts spectacles, la création de poèmes collectifs avec le public, des séances de signature, et une rencontre des bénévoles s'étant impliqués dans la revue Pouèt-cafëe au fil des années.

Mosaïque poétique

Pendant toute la durée du Salon, le public est invité à écrire un vers de cinq mots et à venir le déposer au stand de La Petite Fée. Nous sélectionnerons les meilleurs et les agencerons en des micro-poèmes ; cette "mosaïque poétique" donnera lieu à un recueil collectif à paraître en 2007. Votre chance d'être publié, sans avoir à écrire tout un roman !

Séances de signature

Les quatre auteurs ayant publié leur premier recueil chez La Petite Fée seront présents au stand # 204 :

Christine Douville, Flashs de Mai :
vendredi 17 novembre de 18h à 19h30, et dimanche 19 novembre de 15h à 16h

Eric Moncoucut, Jardin de l'inconscience :
vendredi 17 novembre de 18h à 19h30, et dimanche 19 novembre de 15h à 16h

Nicole Turcotte, Sous la pointe des cils :
samedi 18 novembre de 16h à 17h, et dimanche 19 novembre de 10h à 11h

Patrick Packwood, portraits paysages :
samedi 18 novembre de 16h à 17h, et dimanche 19 novembre de 10h à 11h
