Bonjour de Marielle Robichaud!

C'est un printemps tardif, mais vivant! Je vous convie à une autre exposition collective à laquelle je participe. Alors, voici FLOWERS, à la Galerie l'Artiste 1 au 6 mai, vernissage 3 mai 17h-20h. J'y présente entre autres, mes petits formats créés pour Exp'Ô'mavie à Clisson en France, l'an dernier. J'espère vous y voir!

Dear WASM Members,
        For those of you who are interested in Montreal English Theatre, I'd like to invite you to attend any or all of my Montreal Theatre Going class this Spring. I try to present most of the current English Montreal Theatre productions from Sept. - June. Also, I try to give the necessary background for each current play and obtain the scripts so that you can find out something about each play. We do read part of most of the scripts – no obligation. We have at least 4 speakers per session. Our speakers are actors, directors, or playwrights of the current plays. Quite frequently we have some very high-profile theatre people with class discussions.
         We meet on Mon. mornings from 10:00 to noon and have a break from 11:00 - 11:15. The address is 1857 de Maisonneuve W., Suite 500 corner of St. Marc. It’s very close to the Guy Metro – just take the St Mathieu exit and turn right. As there is no receptionist, there is an entrance code. Please email me at 
donnadavidson35 @gmail.com  or telephone me at 514-739-57444.
         Spring Session schedule has been sent to you in the email version of the newsletter. I hope to see some of you on Monday, Donna Davidson.
