QDF to Host Spring Launch, 3/16

The Quebec Drama Federation Spring Theatre Calendar Launch will take place Monday March 16th at 6pm at the intimate Geordie Space (4001 rue Berri, Montreal). Join us in seeing the coming attractions of the English-language spring theatre crop - for free admission and complimentary refreshments, discover theatre that suits your tastes. Decide what shows are must sees, might sees, and not-for-me's.

The launch features inspired scenes and snippets from the upcoming season, insightful interviews with the artists at work conducted by No More Radio's own Paul Aflalo, and of course to some of the hottest producers in town.
