An exhibition of paintings by artist Mary Harman

Vernissage Oct 9   5-7pm   Exhibition continues to Nov 14

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.

Alain Goulem directs the ‘Dream Team’ of Alex Haber, Neil Napier, and Michel Perron as two tourists and a maintenance worker trapped in a broken-down elevator on the 13th floor of a has-been hotel. Will they ever get it moving again? One catch: if they do, the only way they’re going is down – way, waaaaaaaay down! And is the janitor what he seems, or is that sulphur we smell?

All levels are welcome from first time amateurs who want to try the basic drawing exercise to professional artists honing their skills.

For 15$, you get small group sizes, a professional and experienced model, and perfect lighting and temperature. Most importantly a comfortable and creative atmosphere is assured. Plenty of red and white wine, cheeses, nuts etc. will be served. So come ready to eat, converse, drink and draw!

Othello, Shakespeare’s great and gripping masterpiece about the fall of a noble moor, a military hero, caught in a terrible web of self destruction This famous and timeless tragedy tells the story of a vulnerable man at the mercy of the force of evil.

November 21 & 25 DARK

Shakespeare's timeless tragedy illustrates the devastating power of words to manipulate, persuade, and ultimately destroy. Othello, a noble moor, a military hero, is caught in a terrifying web of deceit in Shakespeare's gripping masterpiece. Brimming with disturbing and conflicting emotions: love and hate, jealousy and ambition, sexual desire and individual integrity, as the characters struggle against the forces that overpower them.  Playing at the McCord Museum in the Bombardier Theatre from November 13 to 29 at 8 PM, with weekday matinées at 1 PM and Sunday matinées at 2 PM.

In an eternal moment of déja-vu, on Dangerous Passes Road, three brothers attempt to confront the consequences of their father’s drowning thirteen years ago. Lines from his last poem repeat over and over in their heads - the same poem that had spun round and round in the whirlpool that pulled him down that day. Struggling to break the cycle, and striving for moments of frankness and lucidity, they repeat snatches of their conversation from that fateful day, over and over.  Playing Tues. through Sat. at 8 PM, with matinée on Sat. at 2 PM.

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.
