Forever Yours, Marie-Lou, by Michel Tremblay, presents two fragmented stories; one of two sisters arguing about how to move on from tragedy, and one of their parents’ painful argument set 10 years earlier and caused by something as small as burnt toast. Carmen (Liana Brooks) returns home to see her sister, Manon (Elea Regembal), stuck reliving moments from their unfortunate shared history, unable to escape its effect. Simultaneously, yet ten years earlier, devout Christian Marie-Louise (Hope Kelly) and her alcoholic husband Leopold (Andrew Young) begin one of their constant arguments while the kids are asleep down the hall.

Tremblay’s juxtaposed over-lapping dialogue and extreme isolation creates a sense of inter-relatedness between each of the characters and their flaws while maintaining each person’s inner loneliness. This production of Forever Yours, Mare-Lou attempts to bring these themes to the forefront by employing movement -or lack thereof- to enhance the actors’ portrayals of these uniquely flawed individuals which is in stark contrast to the original directions of the play which asked for no movement and no eye contact.

Two conversations in the same room... but ten years apart. With that, Players’ invites you to sit back and enjoy the chaos of family life unfold before you!

What the Fuck Am I Doing Here? - An Anti-Folk Opera was written by Caytee Lush in response to her experiences as an anarchist during the 2012 student uprisings in Quebec. Adapted for the current political climate on McGill campus within the context of the ongoing provincial agenda of increased austerity, Fishbowl Collective’s Hannah Kaya and Connor Spencer turn TNC into an immersive anti-austerity training camp - inviting you to experience the movement in all its highs and lows through food, song, and celebration. Based on the original show and music by Caytee Lush, adapted by Fishbowl Collective.

NOV 16-19, 23-26
Show at 8pm, doors at 7:45

Come one, come all to TNC's second ARTiFACT of the year!

When? : November 22nd - 8pm!
Where: TNC (Morrice Hall)
How (much)?: PWYC

We need YOU!

ARTiFACT is an inclusive, open-mic style platform for artists of all disciplines to showcase their work once a month in TNC (Tuesday Night Café Theatre). Come play!

~~The theme this month is the role of art in politics, organization, and social change~~

Now more than ever we need to make space for art that is dedicated to critiquing the system, and that gives spaces to voices that normally would be marginalized from dialogues. On Nov. 22nd, we will be filling the space with art that is dedicated to bringing about change, raising awareness, and organizing communities.

ARTiFACT is happy to promote and display (art)work from any and all creative disciplines, and because we ~love~ art so much… there’s no audition process required! Send us an email at tnc.artifact@gmail.com before Sunday November 20th letting us know what you’d like to showcase and we will arrange for you to have a slot in the event.

See you all on the 22nd! Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/724268247736799/
