COMEDIAN MIKE DELAMONT RETURNS IN GOD IS A SCOTTISH DRAG QUEEN 2: THE SECOND COMING
7 October 2021, Fredericton, NB – Canadian comedian Mike Delamont returns to the Fredericton Playhouse with his one-man show, God is a Scottish Drag Queen 2: The Second Coming on October 22, 2021.
After a sold-out show in 2019, and a rescheduled performance in 2020, Delamont brings his character of God – a Scottish drag queen in a floral power suit – to give her opinions on the platypus, Joseph’s Dream Coat, trendy veggies, vaccinations, turkey, the Amish, and more! This all-new sequel will be an unforgettable night of laughs- no need to have seen the first show.
Mike Delamont has had a meteoric rise to fame since beginning his stand-up career in 2011. He has appeared on CBC’s The Debaters and Laugh Out Loud, SiriusXM’s Top Comic, Halifax Comedy Festival, Winnipeg Comedy Festival, Just For Laughs, and at the world famous Comedy Story in Los Angeles.
Tickets for God is a Scottish Drag Queen 2: The Second Coming are available at the Playhouse Box Office online, in person, or by calling 506-458-8344. For more information, visit https://www.theplayhouse.ca/event/twin-flames/.

MULTI AWARD-WINNING INDIGENOUS DUO, TWIN FLAMES, COMES TO THE PLAYHOUSE THIS MONTH
4 October 2021, Fredericton, NB – The Fredericton Playhouse is kicking off their 2021-22 Spotlight Season with the multi award-winning Canadian Indigenous duo, Twin Flames on October 13, 2021 at 7:30 pm.
Twin Flames are a husband-and-wife team made up of Jaaji (Inuk and Mohawk) from Nunavik and Chelsey June (Métis) from Ottawa. Honouring their ancestors’ history and representing their Indigenous backgrounds, Twin Flames builds bridges across cultures, continents, and styles and bring together a richness of personal history and musical experience. Their songs tell stories of courage and survival written in English, Inuktitut, and French.
Pushing the boundaries of contemporary folk, with songs that incorporate both Western and traditional instruments, the pair expertly wraps Indigenous/Inuit stories in traditional and non-traditional styles.
“I hope that when people see the word Indigenous beside the band name that they are inspired to come and learn more with us,” says Jaaji. “Talking about what Reconciliation means to us and parts of history that are not often shared and using music to communicate…that is so important.”
Tickets for Twin Flames are available at the Playhouse Box Office online, in person, or by calling 506-458-8344. For more information, visit https://www.theplayhouse.ca/event/twin-flames/.
Twin Flames is presented in partnership with Music Runs Through It. The Spotlight Series is generously supported by Fredericton Playhouse media partner CBC New Brunswick and season partners Downtown Fredericton and Crowne Plaza.

TNB’s Fall Festival of New Plays Returns
Following a successful inaugural year, Theatre New Brunswick’s annual new play development workshop and live-stream event highlights the work of playwrights from New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada.
Theatre New Brunswick’s 2021 Fall Festival of New Plays will run from October 1-3 and feature a selection of live-streamed readings of new plays in development by playwrights from New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada.
“This year’s festival will take a decidedly different approach to what we presented in the fall of 2020,” said Natasha MacLellan, TNB’s artistic director. “This year we will feature plays both received through our summer call for submissions and work by some of the many playwrights we have commissioned over the past twelve months. We have such a wealth of writing talent here in New Brunswick and across the entire maritime region. I’m really looking forward to sharing some of these voices with you in the days to come.”
Commissioned playwrights currently writing for Theatre New Brunswick include Kirsten Alter, Anthony Bryan, Beau Dixon, Ryan Griffith, Don Hannah, Jena McLean, and Natalie Sappier.
“The beauty of commissioning new scripts is that we have a greater awareness of what is being written by New Brunswick writers,” said MacLellan. “It makes programming future seasons easier, as we are being proactive about ensuring there are new plays out there that represent the diversity of New Brunswick.”
TNB’s Fall Festival of New Plays was born out of pandemic isolation. Launched in 2020, the event paired new, emerging, and established playwrights with dramaturges, directors and a full cast of actors to bring their latest work to life. Scripts were workshopped, cast, and performed as live-streamed events. With help from the Province of New Brunswick, TNB was able to employ close to 50 playwrights, actors, directors and dramaturges resulting in 13 completed scripts ready for the stage. Two of the plays workshopped in our 2020 festival have since been produced by other companies, thus expanding the reach and voices of artists from our province.
With programming slowly returning to pre-pandemic familiarity, and with it more artists returning to regular work, this year’s Fall Festival will involve the work of five playwrights receiving support from more than 30 artists culminating in a series of live-streamed readings running Oct. 1-3.
Additional events stemming from the Fall Festival and the ongoing commissions are being planned for the months ahead. These may take the shape of online discussions, workshops and an exploration of the creative process. Watch for news on these events coming in the weeks ahead.
This year’s participating playwrights are David Hunter, Kaitlyn Adair, Ryan Griffith, Gordon Mihan and Don Hannah.

FREDERICTON PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES FULL LINEUP FOR 2021-22 SPOTLIGHT SERIES
9 September 2021, Fredericton, NB – After missing a full season due to public health measures brought on by the global pandemic, the Fredericton Playhouse’s Spotlight Series returns with a full lineup for its 2021-22 season. The organization’s flagship program will feature 28 performances in theatre, circus, comedy, dance, and music from across Canada and around the world.
“We are thrilled to be back to providing a full Spotlight Series this year,” exclaims Tim Yerxa, Executive Director. “And we couldn’t be more excited to welcome audiences back for what promises to be an exceptional season of live performance.”
The season features several shows rescheduled from the 2019-20 season including fan-favourite Classic Albums Live, award-winning Indigenous dance company Red Sky Performance, and Canadian comedian Mike Delamont with God is a Scottish Drag Queen 2: The Second Coming.
Rounding out the Spotlight Series this season is a diverse collection of Canadian and international touring artists. Dance-lovers can look forward to four offerings spanning contemporary dance, urban-inspired, and classical ballet; meanwhile fans of both local and international music have over a dozen concerts on offer.
After the last year and a half, Fredericton audiences can certainly use some comedy as well. The series features five knee-slapping comedy shows sure to tickle the funny bone, including the well-known CBC comedy showdown, The Debaters Live.
The Spotlight Series wouldn’t be complete without a selection of holiday performances, and music fans won’t be disappointed by New Brunswick darlings Tomato/Tomato, and Canadian powerhouse Chantal Kreviazuk.
After what seems like an eternity, staff and performers at the Playhouse are ready to welcome a full audience. “We’ve lined up a number of remarkable performances this year and can’t wait to see audiences back in person,” says Yerxa. “There’s something for everyone in this series, no matter your taste or budget.”
In addition to a full Spotlight Series, the Fredericton Playhouse has four scheduled performances as part of the Kidstage Series, as well as a number of shows offering “Pay What You Will” ticket pricing.
Details for all Spotlight and Kidstage Series shows are available now at theplayhouse.ca; tickets are available now to Spotlight Members, and to the public on October 1.

The UNB Art Centre opens its doors and welcomes back the community to in-person exhibits and programs with the first exhibition of 2021, Vita Plume: Patterns & Portraits which opens Friday, September 10 at 5:00 pm. This exhibit runs through October 24.
Patterns & Portraits features several bodies of work produced over 3 decades by master weaver Vita Plume. Working with a digital Jacquard loom, pieces are woven then dyed using a technique known as Shibori, an ancient Japanese method for hand-dying fabric. The West Gallery will present the penetrating series Fallen Soldiers, USA/Canada (2010). In the exhibition catalogue Commemorations produced by the New Brunswick Museum exhibition in 2019, curator Peter Larocque observes that this work “bear silent witness…to the devastating realities of war.”
The East Gallery will commemorate the special relationship of women to craft. Featured will be weavings from the Alice Lusk Webster Suite, based on a portrait of one of the New Brunswick Museum’s early champions, the Doris Ullman Project which portrays textile workers of the Appalachian region of Kentucky along with earlier work honouring the artist’s Latvian roots. Plume’s portraits of faces and hands created using subtle shifts of light and colour tell the story of forgotten makers who devoted their lives to the art of weaving and textiles.
Born in Montreal of Latvian refugees, Vita Plume has a Master of Fine Art from NSCAD University in Halifax. She has taught at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design in Fredericton, NSCAD, Concordia University, Montreal and the University of North Carolina in Raleigh. She has work in collections across the globe and has exhibited throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. She remains engaged in the dissemination of ideas regarding the history, socio-cultural, political and technical applications of textiles. Vita Plume is a currently based in Jemseg, New Brunswick.
The UNB Art Centre is located at Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Drive, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton. The galleries are open 9 am – 4 pm weekdays and during special events. Admission is free to members of the public. Everyone welcome!

Location of the mural on the panel
Location Information:
The Mgr. W.J. Conway Public Library, located on Irène Street in Edmundston, was built in 1966 and 1967 by renowned architect, artist and poet Roméo Savoie.
Roméo Savoie was born in 1928 in Moncton, New Brunswick. From 1959 to 1970, he worked as an architect in the province, including in Edmundston. He carried out and collaborated in the construction of some fifty buildings during his career. He is known as one of the builders of infrastructural development in Acadia with the creation of several art galleries, including Galerie Sans Nom and Galerie 12 in Moncton, as well as Galerie d’art Le Cavreau, formerly established in Edmundston.
Roméo Savoie has been the recipient of several awards, notably in 1999 with an honorary doctorate in visual arts from the Université de Moncton for a career devoted to contemporary painting. He is also the recipient of grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, New Brunswick and Quebec, as well as the Miller-Brittain Prize and the Strathbutler, to name a few. His works are part of the permanent collections of the Art Bank of the Canada and New Brunswick Council for the Arts, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Canadian Cultural Center at Paris, as well as the collection of the Université de Moncton and the University of New Brunswick.
Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur
The heritage building, Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur, testifies to its association with the brutalism architectural style resulting from the modern movement from 1950 to 1970. The style takes its name from the raw concrete.
The construction which is mainly in exposed concrete is widespread in the world of architecture strongly influenced by the French architect Le Corbusier, in the 20th century.
Concrete, due to its liquid nature, can take on any texture or pattern when poured over forms. The creation of Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur Church in Edmundston was strongly influenced by this movement and is an example of the dramatic potential of brutalism.
Roméo Savoie’s trips to Europe in the 1960s, notably the visit to concrete architecture in Finland, inspired the slender and angular shape of Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur, with its free-standing bell tower which bears witness to the historical function of the building. The building was converted in 2000 into a library, which houses the fifth largest collection in New Brunswick, with more than 47,000 documents, over an area of 1,654 square meters.

Dear industry and media friends,
Thank you for supporting Pépins, un parcours de petites détresses and the Satellite Theater itself. The relaunch of this theatrical event, after our surprise closure during last fall’s orange phase, fills us with joy. Your coverage of the event is essential in encouraging our renewed contact with the public.
We would like to invite you to our dress rehearsal, which will take place at 9 p.m. at the Verger Belliveau Orchard next Monday, August 16, 2021. This will be an opportunity to capture images of actresses at work, as well as to discuss with them and the rest of the artistic team.
Of course, we are also available for interviews before Monday or during next week.
If there is anything we can do to make your life easier in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact us.
See you among the apples,
Frederick Hryszyn
