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.

Paradise Lost


This is a brilliantly written, directed and performed one man show by Paul Van Dyck. Adapted from the poem of the same title written by the 17th century poet John Milton, the play centers around three main characters: Adam, Eve, and the Fallen Angel Satan.



The story line is very simple: story of the Fall of Man, the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve are wood-based puppets created by Lyne Paquette, and brought to life on stage by Paul. When he is not playing with puppets, Paul takes on the role of the Fallen Angel. Computer animation is used as well to represent “spirits”. A must see.
