Theatre UNB presents While We’re Young by Don Hannah Feb 20- 23 Conflict and friendship transcend time and place in New Brunswick playwright Don Hannah's stirring exploration of the struggles of youth. Interweaving six stories about young people from Confederation to the 21st-Century, Hannah finds continuity in their transitions to adulthood as they experience life's endeavours through love's ecstasy, war's havoc, and family's allegiance. A young soldier goes to Afghanistan, another to Passchendaele. A family splits in two when a Protestant falls in love with a Catholic; one hundred and twenty years later, it could happen all over again for new reasons. Audiences will climb the limbs of a sprawling family tree, and along the way will encounter sad truths about endearment, revel in glimpses of joy, and indulge in tender connections through a family’s lineage. Don Hannah is a former Writer-in-Residence for the University of New Brunswick. He received the 2012 Carol Bolt award for Drama from the Playwrights Guild of Canada for his one-person play The Cave Painter, which was the Main Stage production at Fredericton’s most recent NotaBle Acts festival last July. While We’re Young is directed by Tania Breen and stars UNB’s third year drama class. The play will run nightly at 8pm from February 20-23 at Memorial Hall on the UNB campus. Tickets ($10 regular, $6 for students) are available at the door. 2. Opening Reception for Exhibitions at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery Feb 21 The Board of Governors and the Director/CEO and Chief Curator of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery cordially invite you to attend the opening reception for the exhibitions: Charlotte Glencross: The Fabric of her Life Curator: Vita Plume Organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery Art Treasures of New Brunswick Curator: Virgil Hammock Organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery Dreams of Order at the Edge of Chaos: Contemporary Geometric Abstraction Curator: Terry Graff Organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 5pm Beaverbrook Art Gallery | 703 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB 3. Fredericton artist Dana O’Regan brings abstract art installation to Florenceville-Bristol Fredericton-based artist, Dana O’Regan, will be traveling up river to open his show Materialist Structures and Landscapes that Shape Us at the Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery. All are welcome to attend an opening reception on Thursday, February 21 from 7-9pm at the Gallery, located downstairs at 8 McCain St. in Florenceville-Bristol. O’Regan explains that ever since he started painting his “use of material has reflected Man's physical connection to nature in industrial settings.” By viewing and experiencing O’Regan’s abstracted and textural paintings, it is evident that the artist is drawn to rough, rugged and tortured landscapes. He explains, “I have always carried this fascination with the earth throughout my life and brought this sensitivity into my artwork.” Although his exhibit at ALMAG will highlight his paintings, O’Regan shares that as of late, he has “begun to go one step further by taking the canvas off the walls, to negotiate the space we inhabit with three-dimension structural paint-and-canvas assemblages in a new body of work…” Alongside his flatworks, Dana will be exhibiting his “column-like structures” comprised of bits and pieces of his old paintings, dried palette paint and other recycled materials. He wants “the viewer to be confronted by these hanging bodies of work that seem so alien yet familiar.” The show will be on display from February 21 – March 30. For more information about ALMAG, please visit www.mccainartgallery.com or ‘like’ the Gallery’s page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/McCainArtGallery 4. The Next Folding Theatre Company presents Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain Feb 21-23 Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain marks the first New Brunswick stage adaptation of a local artist’s work by the Next Folding Theatre Company. Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain is based on the critically acclaimed collection of short stories of the 3 same name by nationally renowned Saint John author Jordan Stewart. A proudly maritime venture, The NFTC seeks to promote this New Brunswick writer’s work while complementing the rapidly growing theatre community of Fredericton. Featuring a star-studded cast of 18 local actors, including Caleb Marshall, Len Falkenstein and Sam Kamras, Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain balances juggernaut performances with technically astounding special effects and live locally composed music. A completely original New Brunswick work, the play signifies a major benchmark in the evolution of New Brunswick theatre. When a train derails outside of the normally peaceful town of Gumdrop Mountain, the local inhabitants rally to rescue survivors of the crash. A boxcar containing hazardous materials explodes and kills many of the rescuers and passengers involved, and the town is forced to deal with the aftermath of the event. In the two years following the disaster, the tragedy and grief of the community manifests itself in strange and uncontrollable ways, forcing the Gumdrop Mountain Police Department to respond with brutally unorthodox tactics. A play about trauma, fear and the strength of the human spirit, Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain is a quirky, dark comedy with an eerily touching heart. Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain runs from February 21-23 @ 8pm each night at the BLACK BOX THEATRE, located in the Sir James Dunn Hall Building on St. Thomas University Campus, in Fredericton. Tickets are $15 for general admission | $10 for Students/Seniors. Tickets are always available at the door.

Nominations sought for 2013 Playhouse Honours – Feb 22 Deadline The Fredericton Playhouse is asking the public for nominations for The Playhouse Honours 2013. Since 2008, The Fredericton Playhouse board of directors has awarded The Playhouse Honours annually. The recognition honours individuals’ involvement in the performing arts in Fredericton, fostering a deeper appreciation of the value that people can make to community life through their work in music, theatre, dance, spoken word, and multidisciplinary performing arts. A permanent display in the west gallery of the Playhouse recognizes the honourees. “The Playhouse Honours initiative celebrates and thanks individuals from our community who have made a significant contribution to Fredericton through their involvement in the performing arts,” says Patrick Flanagan, president of The Fredericton Playhouse board of directors. “We do this through an accessible and thoughtful event which has in the past been a highlight of the year, not only for the recipient, but for the many community members whose lives have been touched and made more meaningful by the individual.” Nominations can be made by any person or organization. Underscoring the personal investment that they have made in the community, recipients must be individuals, not companies or organizations. Recipients may be a professional or amateur artist, administrator, volunteer, educator, philanthropist, advocate, organizer, etc. A selection committee (jury) comprised of members of the local arts community will review the submissions and recommend an honouree to the Fredericton Playhouse board of directors. The deadline for nominations is Friday, February 22, 2013. Past recipients include Ilkay Silk (2008), Brent Staeben (2009), Philip Sexsmith (2010), Walter Learning (2011), and Mabel Doak (2012). Playhouse Honours is generously sponsored by Outreach Productions Inc. Nominations may be sent to: 4 Playhouse Honours Jury Fredericton Playhouse Inc.

The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

  • Toward a National Theatre: the Canada Council, 1957-1982
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

The Umbrella Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 3 Apr-26 Jun 1966 Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 9 Oct-18 Dec 1966 An adventurous program on the arts, The Umbrella brought some of the articulate cultural commentary that had previously been the territory of CBC radio to the television network. It was essentially the successor to Show On Shows (q.v.), which included features by some of the same contributors and which was also produced by John Kennedy. The host of The Umbrella was William Ronald, the painter who had achieved recognition for his abstracts, as a member of the Toronto group, Painters Eleven, in the 1950s, and whose status grew through the l960s. The show's announcer and Ronald's on-camera colleague was Lloyd Robertson. The first show, perhaps typically, centred on Ronald himself; he talked about his own work to art students. Subsequent programs moved to wider, different subjects, both local and international in focus. In the first month, for example, Ronald presented his interview with the legendary artist Marcel Duchamp, filmed in New York, and a program on the burgeoning cultural scene in London, Ontario, and interviews with painters Greg Curnoe and Jack Chambers, and with writer James Reaney. Subjects included the visual, literary, and performing arts, and regular contributors included Rita Greer Allen, Barry Callaghan, and Timothy Findley.
