Legion Memorial Library, Town Hall, 2 ch Vale Perkins, Mansonville

An exhibition of paintings by artist Mary Harman

The subject matter of these paintings are the surrounding landscape as well as the modest dwellings in the area -  tiny houses that survive in the face of a changing world. The paintings are a tribute to this place I call home, to my neighbors, to the spirits of the past that dwell in Vale Perkins.

Infinithéâtre presents JOHN AND BÉATRICE, by Carole Fréchette, translated by John Murrell
BAIN ST-MICHEL 5300, Rue St-Dominique (corner McGuire)

A play by Carole Fréchette, internationally acclaimed and Governor General Award-winning playwright, performed in Montréal for the first time in English. Beatrice waits up her tower in her nearly empty room for the perfect man to arrive. John answers the call. Will the ever-longing-for-perfection eternal feminine find love? Will the mythical macho adventurer find insight and settle down? A cross between a Greek Myth and a Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Playing from Oct. 14 to November 9, Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 PM, with matinées on Sunday at 2 PM (Mondays: DARK).

Tuesday, Oct 14 to Sunday, Nov 9

Adult: $20 Student/Senior: $15 Groups (6+): $10

Tennesse Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof directed by Greg Kramer
Leanor and Alvin Segal Theatre-5170 Côte-Ste-Catherine Rd. corner Westbury. (Metro Côte-Ste-Catherine or Snowdon).

This is Tennessee Williams’s iconic tale of passion and dispassion in the heat of a 1950s Southern night. Brick and Maggie “The Cat” have returned to his father’s Mississippi plantation to celebrate the ailing Big Daddy’s birthday. Rivalry and intrigue abound as everyone fights over who will succeed the old man and assume control over the property. Through all the bickering and fighting, everyone tries desperately to hold onto whatever happiness and dignity the family still possesses. But a storm is brewing, and they are powerless to stop it.
