OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS, Theatre Ste-Catherine, November 4-8, 2009

Author: Christina - Published 2009-10-17 02:48 - (2680 Reads)

OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS

written by DeAnne Smith, Sarah Quinn & Samuel Booth
Performed by Sarah Quinn

Following killer seasons in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia; Montreal-based Aussie performer Sarah Quinn brings her highly popular solo show, “OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS”, to Theatre Ste. Catherine for 6 shows only! A darkly comedic response to the ever-expanding self-improvement industry, OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS is three short plays, by three different authors, all concerned with one singularly modern phenomenon: “ISSUES”. Advice is a hot commodity, and these characters know it. Their questionable philosophies will leave you questioning yours. Hey, we all got problems, man.

“Beautifully written, balancing some darker lessons with a healthy dose of humour...Sarah Quinn is magnificent" -The Adelaide Advertiser

Introducing the Ensemble Nu:n, Canadian debut Concert, October 25th, 2009

Author: Christina - Published 2009-10-07 12:53 - (3620 Reads)
Introducing our upcoming concert, the likes of which Montreal has never heard. Ensemble nu:n’s music is a synthesis of medieval song and modern improvisation, bridging the gap between the roots of Western music and the here and now; the German term nun (“now”, pronounced nu:n) here evokes the singular moment of improvisation. The early music expert voices of Katherine Hill and myself fuse together with the energetic and virtuoso saxophone playing of Gert Anklam (from Berlin, Germany) and the atmospheric and stirring sounds of guitarist and ensemble founder Falk Zenker (Weimar, Germany). Timeless music - at once full of meditative calm and swelling emotion, subtle friction and playful lightness - which resounds throughout the space in which it is heard.

Mark the date for this very special event:
Ensemble nu:n for the first time in Canada!
October 25th at 6:15pm at the St.Matthias Church in Westmount. Tickets: $15 / $10 (students, seniors).

Please visit our website to hear a sample of our music:

The Pillowman, Theatre Ste-Catherine, Montreal, Thurs 22 Oct - Sat 31 Oct. 2009

Author: Christina - Published 2009-09-03 21:06 - (3071 Reads)

FALLEN ANGEL SLEEPS WITH THE PILLOWMAN

Fallen Angel Productions presents The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh,
“Undoubtedly the most acclaimed playwright of his generation.”

Are you prone to nightmares?

The Pillowman speaks to fears people incorrectly think they have long left behind. In this dark and twisted world, faint lines between reality and fiction force us to face the dangerous power of literature. The Pillowman resurfaces the significant point that in a good story one should never be able to tell what happens next. It is saying to me, on the surface I am saying this, but underneath the surface I am saying this other thing. Tupolski, The Pillowman

Directed by Frances Balenzano The Pillowman features: Shawn Baichoo, Rick Bel, Brad Carmichael, Timothy Diamond, and Cristina Vincent.

MONTREAL FRINGE FESTIVAL PLAY

Based on True Feelings


What happens when no one understands you? When the system fails you? When you find yourself medicated, incarcerated and looking at society from the outside? Jesse Heffring has been working with at-risk youth whose lives have been deeply affected by their disorders, and perhaps more affected by the treatments for those disorders. But their strength and resilience is inspiring, and has led to the collaborative creation of an original two act play.
