Arts, Culture and Entertainment in Montreal
If history is forgotten, can it come back? Can a whole story be told completely and fairly? Could it find its echo in the present day? Angélique is a powerful, searing drama that brings to light a tragic event in Montréal’s history. In 1734, Montreal witnessed a great fire and the catastrophe was blamed on […]
How important are memories if eventually they will be forgotten? Is living the moment that which brings value to life’s experience? Where is the hope when things seem hopeless? You Will Remember Me is an intense and moving drama, full of true-to- life incidents and nice comedic moments. It captures the struggles of dementia and […]
Parents make sacrifices for their children, to give them opportunities they did not have. Problems arise when the children have different ideas and the parent is not always in agreement.

The play explores the idea of how a relationship can change if different […]
