THEATRE
Michel Tremblay's Forver Yours, Marilou is on at The Centaur. Great performances in a play a bit difficult to take - about two sisters looking back on growing up with their parents. And what a set of parents! Michel Tremblay is the master of dysfunction- and this play brilliantly transposes the image of a family that "ends up alone together". April 22- May 25 2008.
The Odd Couple is playing at The Segal Theater. While it's hard to think of anyone other than Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau in this, James Evan and Rod Beattie are excellent, beautifully matched as the mismatched couple. A play not to be missed! May 4-25 2008.
Coming up at The Fringe Festival: Three Old Bags. You don't want to miss this! I saw it last year, and loved it. It was sold out every evening so reserve now. Call 514-849-FEST - www.3oldbags.com
