Take Your Valentine to the Theatre on Valentine’s Day
Infinitheatre has a sweetheart of an evening lined up for you on Sunday, Feb. 14.
Since we are stuck with a curfew in the wintry cold, infinitheatre has invited all partners to snuggle into their sofas, pour a glass of something special and to join them this Valentine’s Day for FourPlay, a seductive 5 Ã 7 with music and tantalizing words by some of Quebec’s finest artists.
This live digital performance combines two popular infinitheatre events shacking up together: a teaser for The Pipeline until theatregoers are welcomed in person, and the annual fundraiser. All proceeds will go to support new Quebec play development initiatives. The evening will be hosted by the charismatic Ellen David. Then four playwrights will read excerpts from their plays and four musicians will serenade with their songs of love.
Their new Artistic Director, Zach Fraser, has melded together these playwrights: Mishka Lavigne, Quebec Writers’ Federation Playwriting Prize (Albumen); Arthur Holden, Write-On-Q! honourable mention (Beloved); Alex Poch-Goldin, Write-On-Q! honourable mention (The Trial of William Shakespeare); and Michaela Di Cesare who is offering a sneak-peak into her newest play (Oppression Remedy).
Live music will feature: the smooth hip-hop of Justin Johnson (Just J), suave singer-songwriter Ariel Ridgeway (Faux Chic), Julie Choi, pianist extraordinaire (from King of Canada) and virtuoso violinist Pavel Denisov.
Officiating the loads of door prizes and the silent auction (including theatre tickets, restaurant meals, books, albums, booze, a hotel stay, artwork and floral bouquets) is Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister (King of Canada’s Brian Dooley) alongside the the company’s esteemed AD emeritus (the newly-relaxed Guy Sprung).
Make it a date! Infinitheatre wants you to be their special someone this Valentine’s Day.
