Discovery Series: Staged Reading of Consecrated Ground, Sunday, 17 May, 2010
- Published 2010-05-09 15:33 - (3014 Reads)Black Theatre Workshop’s Discovery Series Production of
Directed by Tyrone Benskin

Tickets: $12 - 514-932-1104 ext 226
Please reserve in Advance – Limited Seating
Africville, Nova Scotia, built over generations, destroyed in one day. This Governor General Award nominated play will be a staged reading by professional actors. Africville, situated in Halifax’s north end peninsular – First settled by Black refuges of the war of 1812 - became the home of Halifax’s Black community well into the 1950’s. Denied the basic amenities such as water, power and sanitation, it was still home until the bulldozers arrived and the residents were relocated to public housing. Consecrated Ground exposes the tragedy of Africville in the 1960s, which still resonates with the people of Halifax today. George Boyd, one of Canada’s great story tellers, paints a rich, human portrait of a family and a community fighting for their place in a world constantly looking to evict them.

Introducing the novel, THE EXPATRIATE, by Jeannette Moscovitch, Culturama Press
- Published 2010-04-28 19:00 - (9210 Reads)Fleeing Germany after the collapse of the Third Reich, two German citizens become friends when they meet on a trans-Atlantic crossing. Both disembark at Halifax and promise to communicate with each other by whatever means possible.
Hermann Baumbach flies from Halifax to Calgary to establish a branch of his father’s business. Hermann, his sisters and parents had escaped just before the War from Frankfurt to Tel Aviv, Palestine.
His friend, Captain Janos von Heissel, born in Düsseldorf, a staunch Nazi, is being sought for War Crimes by the Nuremberg Court. To escape, he disguises himself and adopts the identity of a Jewish Düsseldorfer, Jaakob Kesselmann, which qualifies him for a permanent visa to Argentina where Nazis and Jews with capital are welcome. The Captain is always on guard to conceal his true identity which haunts him all his life, while a silent nemesis lies in wait for him.
This epic reveals the struggle to survive in a culture of upheaval, which is the central issue of our times: the impact of war and corruption upon the ordinary citizen who must live in a spiritually ruined world.

OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS, Theatre Ste-Catherine, November 4-8, 2009
- Published 2009-10-17 02:48 - (2890 Reads)OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS
written by DeAnne Smith, Sarah Quinn & Samuel BoothPerformed 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
