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 Whiteman's Whiskey Comedy Revue


5-star rating for entertainment and trip down memory lane. To hear my review, click on the play button.
This is a play that will take you back to the 1950s: smoking is good for you, any decent man carries at least 2 handguns at home, women’s occupation was limited to housewife….and whiskey is a potion that cures everything.

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.

Once and for all we’re gonna tell you who we are so shut up and listen



A beautiful piece of art with thirteen different characters on one stage at the same time. Brilliantly executed by teenagers that engage the audience through an experience of a typical teenager’s emotional roller-coaster: from anger, to passion to love, frustration, hunger for more. Click on the play button to hear my review aired on CKUT 90.3 FM.




July 14-19, 21-26 at the Monument National.
