Montreal Premiere

Mary's Wedding

by Stephen Massicotte

First World War love story told through a dream.
When Mary and Charlie, filled with passion, vulnerability and the impulsiveness of youth, unexpectedly find one another sheltering in a barn during a thunderstorm, a tentative love is born. But the year is 1914, and Mary and Charlie must surrender their love and their fate to the uncertainties of their tumultuous times. Stephen Massicotte’s two-character play was the winner of the full-length category in the 2000 Alberta Playwrighting competition.

Persephone Productions, brings Mary’s Wedding by Stephen Massicotte to Jean Valacourt Studio Theatre from April 28th to May 7th 2011. The two characters in Mary’s Wedding are performed by Persephone veteran Dustin Ruck (remembered fo his excellent portrayal of Fluellen in Henry V) as Charlie Edwards and recent Dawson graduate Allison Busner who plays both, the titular Mary and Charlie’s commanding Officer Sergeant Flowers.

Introducing a debut book of poems, Just Words, Sharing my Heart, Aileen Lebofsky

Author: Christina - Published 2011-04-05 09:58 - (8952 Reads)

Just Words…Sharing My Heart:


Poetry is passion, and it is this passion that I have the privilege of sharing with you, dear reader. I hope that you experience the same joy reading the poems in this, my first book of poetry, as I did in writing them. Born and raised in Montreal, I attended Dawson College and Concordia University in the 1970s and 1980s. I have been writing poetry since the age of 13, while navigating the hallways and annexes of Wagar High School. I am a member of the Quebec Writers’ Federation, the Canadian Authors Association and the Invisible Cities Network.
