2014 SCHEDULE
CALIXA-LAVALLÉE
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25
7:00 à 8:30 p.m.
DANNY BOY
BY LISA FORGET AND CHRIS BARILLARO (Montreal)
A love story that bridges the gap between Ireland and Canada during the era of arranged marriages.
Come and hear musical numbers, see Irish dances and take a look behind the scenes with the Montreal-based creators of this new musical comedy with melodies that will stir your soul.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 and FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
9:00 to 11:00 p.m.
MERTON OF THE MOVIES
BY DONALD BRENNER AND DOUG KATSAROS (New York)
This new musical comedy was part of a pre-production workshop held at CETM in March, 2014. It has been brought back for an encore with the cooperation of Mainstreet Musicals and the authors.
It’s the story of Merton Gill, an obscure clerk at a general store who dreams of a career making serious art films. He gets discovered by a beguiling actress and becomes a movie star. But not exactly the genre he expected!
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
FREE activity as part of Les Journées de la culture
5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
NUITS D’ART
This event brings together different artistic disciplines to create a platform designed to launch emerging performers and designers. Three activities have been brought together to celebrate Quebec Culture Days (Les Journées de la culture).
17:00 : RECEPTION and PRODUCT LAUNCH : THE ATLANTIDE COLLECTION
Original decorative art pieces made from exotic woods, including funeral urns, jewelry boxes and office storage containers.
6:30 p.m.: MONTRÉAL SCÈNE : L’ART QUI RAYONNE / OUR ARTISTIC LINK TO THE WORLD
A short persentation of our vision to connect more Montreal artists and creators to the international scene, and our unique role in this process.
6:45 – 8:00 p.m. A ‘Surprise Poperetta’
‘SIXTIES FOLLIES’ (bilingual)
BY MICHEL GARON
WITH JEAN-ALEXANDRE CÔTÉ
A dramatic through-line gives new meaning to classic songs from the 60’s.
This exploration in musical theatre form takes its inspiration from operetta and the jukebox musical. The storyline follows a couple of ex-pat Quebecers living in New Jersey in the 1960’s.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27
3:00 to 4:30 p.m. and 7 :00 to 8 :30 p.m.

(French version of ‘Daisy and the Wonder Weeds’)
BY JEAN ELLIOTT-MANNING
Translation and French adaptation by Yves Morin
