A
brilliantly conceived and richly humorous theatrical tour de force in
which six performers portray a wide range of diverse characters as they
delineate the dying lifestyle of wealthy WASP-dom, and the now neglected
room which was once a vital sense of family life.
“…a
thoughtful and superbly written comedy…” VARIETY.
“…often
funny and rueful and, by the end, very moving.” NY TIMES

by Donald Margulies
Saturday, January 18th, 2003
The
conflict between the established artist and the adulatory fan who
becomes a protégé, disciple, colleague, and friend – and finally
rival – is one of those great topics…It resurfaces in Donald
Margulies’ provocative new play, COLLECTED STORIES which confronts the
prominent short-story writer, Ruth Steiner, with her student turned
confidant, Lisa Morrison.
“With his fine ear for detail. Margulies creates an authentic,
insular world, and he gives equal weight to the opposing viewpoints of
two formidable characters.” LA TIMES |

One
of the great mystery thrillers and among the best of its kind, everyone
is familiar with this dark tale of Dr. Seward whose
daughter, Lucy, is rapidly succumbing to a mysterious illness. Dr. Van
Helsing, a specialist, believes that the girl is a victim of a vampire.
The vampire is at last found to be their neighbour, Count Dracula.
Thereafter, it’s a desperate race to save Lucy and forever end Count
Dracula’s desperate hunt. This gripping, sexy and sometimes funny
thriller is adapted from the classic novel by Bram Stoker.

evening of high-class fun.” NEWSWEEK

Hosanna,
a Montreal transvestite, returns from what she hoped would be a
triumphant costume party where she would take first prize dressed as
Elizabeth Taylor in her role of Cleopatra. Through her direct address to
the audience and her interactions with her motorcycle stud boyfriend,
Cuirette, we are introduced to the world of Montreal drag queens.
Hosanna is a scathingly funny, modern classic layered with emotion and
resonance.
Warning: strong language and provocative themes.
“HOSANNA
is an exhilarating, funny and very moving work…” THE HAMILTON SPECTATOR“…fluid, glitzy…immensely
full of life.” THE GLOBE AND MAIL

Adapted
from Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos. Set in France
among aristocrats before the revolution, this is a play for all time
about sexual manner and manipulation. Dangerous Liaisons charts the
seduction of the young and willing Cecile and the demure, yet
passionate, Mme. de Tourvel by Le Vicomte de Valmont, a cynical pleasure
seeker. His seductive enterprises are encouraged by his former mistress,
a lady with ulterior motive. The popular movie starred Michelle
Pfeiffer, John Malkovich and Glenn Close.
“A
compelling evening of malicious wit.” N.Y. TIMES

ART GALLERY OF NORTHUMBERLAND
Carl Hoselton: A Retrospective
The Art Gallery of Northumberland is pleased
to be hosting a retrospective of the late Carl Hoselton's works from September 7
to October 19, 2002.
Hoselton, originally trained in jewellery
design, is best known for his establishment of the Hoselton Studios, which he
left to his brother to run in the early 1980's in order to pursue work in other
media. The works that are included in this exhibition focus on his nature
studies, his exploration of the abstract and his sculpture for children. The
works have been rendered primarily in wood, with some works in stone. Also
included in the exhibition are some of Carl's paintings. The exhibition has been
put together with the assistance of his family and private collectors.
For further information, please call
the Art Gallery of Northumberland at 905-372-0333.

The
Absence of a Cello by Ira Wallach
This
refreshingly literate hit Broadway comedy is concerned with the hilarious

The
Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler
This
brilliantly comic Obie-Award Winner is funny, outrageous, emotionally effecting

audience.

Exhibitions
Kai Chan: Rainbow Lakes
August 3 to October 6, 2002
In this survey exhibition of recent works, Kai Chan
presents fragile wall constructions which evoke a spatial poetry that is both
spare and poignant. Some of the constructions are composed of intricate hand
coloured toothpicks threaded and precariously hung in dense constellations. His
processes are borrowed from craft traditions found in basket weaving, jewellery
and woodworking. Kai Chan turns toward nature for both material and inspiration.
In his catalogue essay, Robin Metcalfe writes that “Kai’s wall constructions
are like his garden…or the unfolding of a text or a strand of DNA…like stage
settings for a pastoral comedy.”
Kai Chan was born in China and immigrated to Canada in 1966. He is a graduate of
the Ontario College of Art in interior design and holds a degree in Biology from
Chung Chi College in Hong Kong. In 1998 Kai was the recipient of the Jean A.
Chalmers National Crafts Award. His works can be found in public and private
collections including the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Canada Council
Art Bank.
