A re- #introduction since I’ve migrated servers:
I am a #playwright, #director and #dramaturge who runs a #theatre company that tours plays for #children and #youth audiences.
I spent most of my time on the bird site following #CdnPoli , #CDNjournos and #CdnTheatre, but I also care about #parenting, #ClimateJustice, #Labour, #IncomeInequality, #sobriety, #spirituality, #Judaism, and - fuck it - I love #RubberStamps
#OnThisDay in 1948: Yvette Brind'Amour and Mercedes Palomino found Théâtre du Rideau Vert, the first French-language theatre in Canada. The company would premiere the works of many legendary Quebecois playwrights, including Michel Tremblay (with Les Belles-Soeurs in 1968).
Its name, "the Green Curtain," challenges fate because green was considered bad luck in theatre. It worked! Rideau Vert remains alive today.
