Bunbury : L’importance d’être Constant – FRENCH VERSION Presented by Village Scene Productions
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Discover the rarely performed four-act version of this radically absurd classic play that was written well ahead of its time by a true literary genius. This adaptation by Davyn Ryall, although remaining true in its original message, sets the tale of these iconic characters of English literature in 1929 Montréal. It is perfect for a fun-filled summer season with laughs and the added flair of some catchy period music and dance steps. This show features nine of Montréal’s own local bilingual professional talents: Nichole Carlone (Miss Prism), Simon Chaussé (Dr. Rev. Chausable), Jonathan Marquis (Lane, and Mr. Gribsby), Mélanie Martin (Gwendolyn Fairfax), Chris Nachaj (Algernon Moncrieff), Elsa Perez (Lady Bracknell), Marc-André Poulin (Jack Worthing), Kristina Sandev (Cecily Cardew) and Stéphane Turgeon (Merriman). Directed by Davyn Ryall. Information at Village Scene Productions Tickets: $10 to $20 General seating. Wheel chair accessible.

Porn Flakes Show with invited artists Place Émilie-Gamelin |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Since 2000, the shows have kept coming and have become a true “happening” where invited celebrities come, of course, to sing but mostly to have fun and “jam” with the band. To this day, more than 100 renowned artists like Bruno Pelletier, Garou, André Watters, Stefie Shock, Marie-Chantale Toupin and Loco Locass have taken part in Porn Flakes shows, whether up on stage at Club Soda or during other events throughout Québec. It was in 2005 that the band presented its first album called “Les Porn Flakes”. The eponymous album earned two nominations at the 2006 Gala de l’ADISQ, in the “Album of the Year” and “Song of the Year” categories with the song “Les Corneilles”. The band’s second album was launched in October 2006 and in May of the same year, the Porn Flakes began their first tour throughout various Québec festivals. During their 2006 and 2007 tours, the Porn Flakes attracted crowds reaching anywhere from 10,000 to 35,000 spectators at each of their performances. |
