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:Literature in the Age of Anti-Racism (AR)\, Anti-Oppression (AO) and Decolonization (DC)
DESCRIPTION:Rana Bose\, Tawhida Tanya Evanson\, and Yves Sioui Durand in conversation with Deborah Forde. \n\n\n\nThis panel explores the relationship between literature and AR/AO/DC movements. How do writers from Indigenous\, diasporic\, and other marginalized backgrounds reflect elements of AR/AO/DC in their works? Beyond revealing the impact of colonialist power\, can literature itself play a role in dismantling it? \n\n\n\nThis free event will be held on May 8\, 1:00 pm on the Terrace of Hotel 10.

SUMMARY:An Evening of Haiku
DESCRIPTION:Greet the spring with new haiku from Eastern Townships poets. \nBishop’s University’s Lifelong Learning Academy\, Write Here\, Write Now! and Coaticook’s Yarrow Press are pleased to announce the distance launch of three new books: Angela Leuck’s Last Summer Pear\, Phyllis Sise’s Spring to Lips and Bernice Sorge’s Ditch Walker. Join the poets for readings and conversations. \nABOUT THE POETSOwner and senior editor at Yarrow Press\, Angela Leuck\, was born in Vancouver\, British Columbia\, and grew up in the village of Lillooet along the Fraser Canyon. She presently makes her home in Coaticook. Angela Leuck is the author of six books of poetry and her articles and stories have appeared in numerous publications. \nA visual artist\, painter\, and print-maker\, Bernice Angeline Sorge relates the experience of writing haiku to being “like a two-year-old trying to put into words exciting discoveries\, like how to lace up a shoe. It never quite expresses the whole story\, but you have to believe your listener has the ability to hear and see with all her/his senses.” \nPhyllis Sise was a contractor in Toronto\, a house inspector in the Townships\, and is now proud to be Granny Muffin when she isn’t writing. She is grateful that writing has taught her to be so much more aware of all that surrounds us. Phyllis Sise’s new book Spring to Lips adds a certain quirkiness to the classic art of Haiku. \nWrite Here\, Write Now! is supported by Bishop’s University Lifelong Learning Academy.Bishop’s University is located on the Traditional and Unceded Territory of the Abenaki People.
