About Me and This Blog

Hi there and welcome to my theater corner. Theatre take any form: from dance, drama, improv, cabaret, musical, to contemporary circus, ventriloquism, and puppeteering. As a drama aficionado, I believe that the magic of art performers resides in their ability to convey dream, feeling and thought. This belief is the root of my search of professional and independent theatre gems in bilingual Montreal.

The Delights section highlights productions that I attend, review and highly recommend monthly. If you wish to read past reviews, the Blog Archive is updated weekly. I also animate the theater segment of an Arts and Culture radio show on CKUT 90.3 FM every Monday morning. You can hear my live interviews in the Radio Interviews section, as well as catch us live at Listen to CKUT Radio. - MontrealDramaQueen

Delights to come/ Délices à venir...

Hi there and welcome back to MontrealDramaQueen!
Summer is slowly fading away, announcing the beginning of the theatrical fall season in Montreal.

I am very excited to announce the Sidemart Theatrical Grocery's new production called GORDON. The play is staged at The Segal Centre for Performing Arts from Oct 2 to 16. More details to come.

The Improvised Shakespeare Company


This dynamic and endearing talent box is comprised of 5 gentlemen from Chicago. Each actor player holds solid improv. training, as well as an impressive knowledge of the Elizabethan genre. Click on the play button to hear my radio review.


Every performance is fully improvised using the theme and language of Sir William Shakespeare. Nothing is scripted, rehearsed or planned. Each player can play as many as 3 to 4 different characters as they literally jump into scene. Thanks to a suggestion from the audience, I got to see “The Corset of Death”. :-) Fantastic!


July 16-25, 2009. Theatre Ste Catherine.
