It's all happening at:
Mainline Theatre. 3997 St. Laurent Blvd.(upstairs). Montreal. Saturday, March 4th. 5pm to 7pm Contact David Cox:ELAN invites all Quebec artists and writers to fill out an ONLINE SURVEY
- Published 2011-02-14 16:33 - (4386 Reads)The English-Language Arts Network launched a survey last week to gather information about the lives and needs of English-speaking artists and cultural workers in Quebec.
It's just 28 questions and takes about 10 minutes to fill out. Your experience is of great importance to help us understand the diversity of culture and conditions in Quebec.
Furthermore, any help you can offer in attracting input from other artists/cultural workers is equally valuable. I am hoping you will encourage your contacts and networks to participate, or help me to reach other organizations/networks that can offer similar assistance.

Introducing the book: Letters to a Young Therapist, by Vincenzo Di Nicola,
- Published 2011-02-10 20:29 - (5732 Reads)Di Nicola is a true master of constructive inquiry, synthesis, and brilliant creativity. Memorable aphorisms leap from every page of this very wise, thoughtful, and beautifully written book in which the healing process of discovering and making meaning to help reorder the minds and lives of troubled persons is clarified. I highly recommend this book for all those who are or who would be therapists.
Armando Favazza, MD, MPH, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Missouri-Columbia. Pioneer in cultural psychiatry. Author of "Bodies Under Siege."

Presenting: Aladdin by the Left of Centre Theatre Company, 19 Feb - 6 March 2011
- Published 2011-01-01 13:57 - (7276 Reads)Aladdin
Left of Centre Theatre Company, we are very pleased to announce our next show Aladdin by James Barry and directed by Simone Nichol.Aladdin is delights the audience with all the traditional theatrical conventions that is unique to pantomime - audience participation, the usual slapstick moments, the very risqué double entendres and the outrageous (cross-dressing) with the Dame.
Christine Long of CTV recommends the production. Aladdin + British Panto = a fun interactive show for kids and their grown-ups. Watch a video clip at:
