Montréal Idle
The Leanor and Alvin Segal Theatre (5170 Cote-Ste-Catherine).
“Montréal Idle” is a musical spoof on the current tsunami of reality TV shows inundating the airwaves. Be amused and abused by local business 'tycoons' performing side by side with professionals from all corners of the entertainment scene as they vie for the coveted first place prize of becoming Prime Minister of Canada for a day (or plumber in charge of the Segal Centre washrooms, whichever they prefer!). From 11-year-old violinists to bagpipe players in drag - there's something for everyone and his Aunt Tilly!
Penned by Tex Dawson, the “King of Montréal Comedy.” Directed by Randy Davies.

Chelsea artist Reid McLachlan opens his show of new paintings entitled Grey Truths at Art-Image in Gatineau on November 9 from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Duration of exhibition: November 9, 2007 to January 13, 2008.

Powered by the wind, these creatures, which have evolved now through several generations, walk, flap, roll, discern obstacles.

Galerie d'art Foreman Bishop's University, 2600 College Street, Sherbrooke (Lennoxville), Québec Open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 12 pm noon to 5 pm
Clive Holden is a multi-disciplinary artist and author who works with moving images in three forms: fixed films and videos, performance, and installation. Utopia Suite Disco is about dancing to the beat of our hopes and fears to create movement as both figurative and literal progress towards Utopianism. A light tent is filled with projections of utopian heroes such as JFK, Martin Luther King, John Lennon and James Joyce. A dance floor is provided for the viewer to dance to a three-part disco suite by composer Oscar Van Dillen, a Rotterdam-based composer.
