Celebrons Quebec Virtual Presentation

[Cherice Granger]

Greetings:

Please allow this email to serve as an invitation to attend our
virtual Célébrons
Québec presentation titled, "Theatre in Québec: Why?..And Two Musicals".
This presentation will feature Dr. Erin Hurley, Professor of Theatre
Studies at McGill University. The details of this event are below:

*Presentation Title*:  "*Theatre in **Québec: Why?..And Two Musicals*"

*Overview*: This illustrated lecture will open with introductory remarks on
why we should bother to care about culture in the time of Covid, and on the
place of theatre in particular as a socio-political force in Québec. Then,
as demonstrations of such force -- and as upbeat musical interludes -- two
satirical musical theatre productions will be introduced from the annals of
English-language theatre in Québec: "My Fur Lady" (1957) and "Anglo! The
Musical" (1984). It will be argued that these productions index the
demographic and political situations of anglophone Québeckers at the time
and reveal key fault-lines and alliances for the community.

*Presenter's Short Bio*: Dr. Erin Hurley is Professor of Theatre Studies at
McGill University and Past President of the Canadian Association for
Theatre Research. She has published in the areas of Québec theatre,
national performance, affect theory, and Canadian Studies. Most recently,
she collaborated on the first book to cover the history of theatre in Québec
- “*Le théàtre contemporain au Québec*” from les Presses de l’Université de
Montréal. Her current research project is a critical history of
English-language drama and theatre in Québec, from 1930-2010.

*Presentation Date and Time*:
Tuesday, March 9, 2021
3:30-4:45 p.m.
