SUMMARY:Mazel Tov
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS TO MAZEL TOV ARE NOW ON SALE!\nGet your tickets: https://bit.ly/MazelTovTix \nRunning from April 29th – May 8th\nSynopsis: Isabelle is Jewish… Patrick isn’t. They are getting married. During the ceremony\, Patrick’s best friend\, Philip\, makes a gesture that is perceived to be anti-Semitic. Several guests are angry\, as well as Isabelle\, the bride. Chaos ensues…and things fall apart. Mazel Tov is a dark comedy that crosses the line as it divides and conquers our understanding of loyalty\, friendship and family. Surprising us at every turn\, it questions the politically correct times we are living in\, and asks us to examine how far is too far. \nWritten by Marc-André Thibault\nDirected by Ellen David \nUse promo code PREVIEW for 50% off General Admission\, applicable to the April 29th preview only. \nContact the box office at (514)-987-1774 ext 104 or email box-office@infinitheatre.com for more information!\ninfinitheatre.com

SUMMARY:Narrative Non-Fiction: Creating Scenes
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays\, 8:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. \nMarch 16 to May 4 \n  \nThis workshop is open to writers who have already taken a writing workshop or  published at least one short piece of prose fiction or non-fiction. \n  \nLimited to 12 participants \n  \nNarrative non-fiction took off in the 1960s\, when writers like Tom Wolfe\, Joan Didion\, and Gay Talese started using the techniques of fiction writers to tell true stories. Sometimes called New Journalism\, the genre exploded when fiction writers like Truman Capote and Norman Mailer switched over to non-fiction\, attaining major critical and popular praise. The ever-increasing demand for non-fiction writing highlights readers’ desire to connect with stories that make sense of their surroundings. \n  \nNarrative non-fiction blends reporting\, research\, and storytelling. In this workshop we’ll learn about how to write scenes that are true to life. Instead of simply stating what happened\, we’ll explore how to create a scene\, as a screenwriter or novelist might. Your task will be to impose a narrative on reality – and make it interesting to readers. We’ll talk about the techniques behind writing about your own experience\, and about documenting other people’s lives. We’ll discuss what constitutes non-fiction – and what doesn’t. We’ll speak about how to get access to places off-limits to most civilians\, how to approach interesting characters\, and how to interview them. We’ll also speak about mining rich veins of source material from dusty old books\, or weird scientific studies\, or unusual academic treatises. \n  \nEach of you will be asked to present one piece of writing to the group\, which will be workshopped by the group. (Participants will read and discuss each other’s writing.) I will also hand out some examples of narrative non-fiction to illustrate what it is we’re speaking about. These will also inform and inspire your own work in the workshop. No advance work is required for the workshop\, but do have an idea of what you’d like to work on in our time together. In our second session\, we’ll be discussing what each student plans on workshopping.  \n  \n  \nAdam Leith Gollner is the author of The Book of Immortality\, The Fruit Hunters\, and Working in the Bathtub: Conversations with the Immortal Dany Laferrière. The former editor of Vice Magazine\, his writing has appeared in The New York Times\, Vanity Fair\, The Paris Review\, Travel + Leisure\, and The New Yorker online.
