How do you move on, move through, move past inflicted heinous violations? Can vengeance lead to hope? Imago Theatre is honoured to present Erin Shield's If We Were Birds, winner of the 2011 Governor General's Award for Drama, from October 9-19 at Centaur Theatre. This moving, funny and unsettling play, with an all-star Montreal cast directed by Micheline Chevrier, gives voice to women forced into silence through violence. Continuing their mandate to encourage dialogue, the company will hold a talkback after each performance.

The city's newest theatre company, Metachroma Theatre is Montreal's only independent theatre company of professional actors of colour; an important new addition to the local arts scene, contributing to the Canadian theatre landscape as a whole. They present their inaugural production, William Shakespeare's great history play, Richard III, from tonight, Sept. 19-30 at the Segal Centre for Performing Arts, directed by Joel Miller. The production features some of Montreal's top actors, along with talented guest artists. The Segal Centre team is looking forward to this Metachroma Theatre production, kicking off a great season.
