Invitation to ELAN’s cinq-a-sept, Valentine’s, Tuesday, 13 February, 2007

Author: Christina - Published 2007-02-11 19:46 - (1215 Reads)
Vicki Marcok is the publishing rep on the ELAN (English Language Arts Network) board. She wants to invite everyone to ELAN’s cinq-a-sept for Valentine’s Day – a way for our artistic community to get better acquainted.

It will be held Tuesday, February 13, from 5 to 7 at the Empress Theatre (the old Cinema V at 5560 Sherbrooke West in NDG). Please RSVP ELAN at admin at quebec-elan.org, with Valentine’s Get Together in the subject line, so they will know how many to cater for.

Built in 1927, this beautiful Art Deco landmark is the only Egyptian-themed theatre in Canada, and was once the social hub of the community it graced. For over 12 years, this fine old building has stood empty and forlorn, but a group of committed citizens is working to rebuild and recreate this heritage landmark into a fine and performing arts centre, named the Empress Cultural Centre http://www.empressndg.org

As ELAN members, you are invited to come mix, mingle & schmooze with fellow members and the ELAN Board, and while you’re at it find out what’s happening with the Empress project (mini tours will be given upon request).

Beer, juice & snacks will be served. Feel free to bring anyone who may find ELAN or the Empress of interest, but do RSVP to admin at quebec-elan.org by end of day Sunday with “RSVP” in the subject line to help us prepare.

Looking forward to seeing you there, ELAN Board & Staff

To the Green Fields Beyond

From November 9 to19, we are presenting Nick Whitby’s electrifying play about the Tank Corps in World War I, written in 2000 and first seen at the Donmar Warehouse in London, England.

Persephone is very proud to present its Canadian Premiere!

Set in a forest in France in 1918, an eight man tank crew waits to go into battle. The play explores the nature of war and human sacrifice. It is a play that many of us will relate to has we struggle with questions concerning our own war-torn world. We have assembled a fine cast of actors and our production team is headed by two graduates from N T S. Everyone is very excited to be part of this project. Once again the Persephone mandate is manifested in the opportunities that this production is giving to so many young professional artists in Montreal.

Talisman Theatre Co-operative is proud to present the Montreal English premiere of the Governor General award-winning play That Woman (Celle-là) by Daniel Danis, translated by Governor General award winner Linda Gaboriau.

The imagery and poetic quality of this play will transport you into a breathtaking kaleidoscope of memories where the characters struggle to experience moments of perfect happiness - a testament to the human spirit. Danis’s first play, Celle-là, written in 1993 was produced by several theatres across Canada and Europe including Espace Go in Montreal.
