WISTA’s “9 to 5” this June!

The 1980s film turned Broadway hit wraps up WISTA’s 12th season

Montreal theatre fans, take a memo: WISTA’s upcoming production, 9 to 5 The Musical is headed to the West Island.

The show will run for 6 performances from June 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15 at 7:30 PM, as well as June 15 at 1:30 PM at the Louise Chalmers Theatre (501 Boulevard St. Jeans, Pointe-Claire, QC).

Based on the hit 1980s movie starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 The Musical tells the story of three female coworkers pushed to their boiling point by their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical boss. After an evening of fantasizing how they’d each take him down, friendships are made, coffees are poisoned, and barriers are broken when the three women find themselves holding their boss captive, giving them the power to change their workplace for the better.

The Addams Family Tangos to Montreal this June!

WISTA's 10th book musical promises to be anything but "normal"


Three-time META Award nominee WISTA is pleased to announce its tenth full book musical production, The Addams Family, A New Musical Comedy.

WISTA introduces Montrealers to the Addams Family as they’ve never seen them before; with songs that are eerily catchy and dances that are “to die for”, all with the familiar Addams flair for the dark. A cast of 26 young and talented performers deliver a show that will be dreadfully entertaining.

Introducing Tony Desjardins, author of A HERO IS BORN

Author: Christina - Published 2017-07-14 09:55 - (3156 Reads)

Tony Desjardins, a writer and student of Philosophy, is from Val-d’Or, Québec. During his childhood, he began by illustrating and selling his own comic books. His first self-published book, A Hero is Born, is a clash of Science-fiction and Fantasy, featuring interstellar wars, aliens, action and adventure. Despite its fictional backdrop within other galaxies, the main setting is his hometown of Val-d’Or, with references to Quebec and Abitibi culture, which makes the book not only interesting to Science-fiction/Fantasy/Space opera fans, but also to Canadians, Quebecers, Abitibians and Valdorians who like to recognize themselves in a story.

America Pageant


I found my sex in the trail-blaze to the North Queen

Hopper's nude wide as a prairie
laid low across Continents
spread to snowy breasts
extended up Banff down Peru
the Grand Canyon in daubs of paint
copper crevices shimmering climaxes

overgrown, awkward, unintelligent America,
humble giant gentile clutz
well-intentioned, well-intentioned
but sudden cut of cold-eyed malice...

Introducing: Shivers and Signposts: The journey continues, by Len Richman, 14 September 2015

Author: Christina - Published 2016-08-22 11:20 - (11089 Reads)
In June 2008, the Thomas More Institute launched Len Richman’s Raindrops Glimpses Moments: An Unconventional Memoir Of An Unplanned Journey. Seven years later, the Institute will be launching Len’s subsequent memoir, Shivers & Signposts: The Journey Continues. Resuming his exploration of ‘life’ in the passing, he shows that he still has much to do, and much to say.

Len Richman is a longstanding member of Invisible Cities. As a teacher, scholar, traveler, writer and actor, he’s an exemplar of the many creatively engaged people we have been fortunate to connect with over the years: our independent publishers, in particular, who have successfully brought their literary works into the public realm.

A word of thanks, also, to Thomas More Institute, a unique and much loved Montreal institution of culture and learning. http://www.thomasmore.qc.ca
