BWW Interviews: A Conversation with Anisa Cameron of Côte Saint-Luc Dramatic Society
by Noelle Hannibal - June 04, 2014
Anisa Cameron was born to be in showbiz. Born in New York, but raised under the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip, Her grandmother was a Rockette, her father was the lead singer of the Folies Bergere at the Tiffany Theatre inside the Tropicana and her mother, a dancer, was a chorus girl who worked her way up to company manager. Says Cameron, 'Vegas in the 80's was, and still is, a place where performers can have a modicum of stability. You can raise a family, own a home and basically live a normal life. Excpet you're working nights. [You can] still have all of the amenities of community and family, without the stress of wondering where your next gig coming from or how you're going to raise your children.'

SOMETIME BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THE SUN GOES SUPERNOVA Set for Théâtre Aux Ecuries, Now thru 5/30
by BWW News Desk - May 28, 2014
Created in 2013 in Calgary, Sometime between now and when the sun goes Supernova is Mark Lawes' new multidisciplinary bilingual creation for a hyper-accelerated world, where the familiar rubs shoulders with the strange. Inspired by Marshall McLuhan's theories on media which essentially predicted the internet 50 years before its application, Sometime between now and when the sun goes Supernova is an inquest, one that investigates manifestations of personal isolation in an increasingly connected globalized world. The performers are caught on the soundstage of a B-horror movie or a pornographic film; yet the setting could be a suburban home. Amnesia flirts with psychosis in a world where we feel the convulsions of a hyperactive, digital, consumer society. Sometime between now and when the sun goes Supernova will be presented at Theatre Aux Ecuries from May 28-30.
