This BOOK is my BEST Friend! - Montreal
MainLine Thetare
If you are a reader, you have a favourite book.
Or books.
It's just what happens.
This event celebrates that, and exposes you to more favourites.
Over 2 hours, 20 ordinary readers spend 3 minutes each passionately endorsing an extraordinary book, letting you in on why that particular book is their best friend.
And the best part is – that book can become your best friend too.
That's the beauty of books.
Come listen to a passel of book-lovers. And if you have a book that you are eager to advocate in front of a warm and wondrous audience, email the organizer at inconsolablecat@hotmail.com with MTLBOOK in the subject heading, letting me know which book is your best friend, and I will save you a spot in the lineup!

Told in the style of Fleabag with an early 2000’s pop-punk soundtrack, this award-winning playwright’s one-woman comedy follows party-girl Candace as she runs away to Mexico for her best friend's destination wedding. A karaoke bar, dead goldfish, and a spirited adventure. You won't have regrets... but Candace might.

"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
For one night only (well, technically six,) drag king Kris Ma’cheque is headlining his very own cabaret! And he promises it’ll be a good one. No matter what. Featuring a new act every show, Personal Best is a funny, moving, unpredictable journey into one performer’s desire to make the grade.
