Will Shakespeare needs a new play for the Queen – in less than a week. Desperately he puts together bits and pieces of plays he’s been working on but has yet to produce. The result is a show with many of Shakespeare’s most famous characters, speaking some of his most famous lines – out of order, to the wrong character, and sometimes confused with other lines! The outcome is a humorous smorgasbord of love lost, love found, lust, dramatic tension and absurdity with love potions, sleeping potions and death potions! All of this, and music to boot.
Music from Frantically Atlantic at 7 pm, performance to follow at 7:30 pm.

Catherine MacLellan Christmas
at Hunstman Marine Science Centre, Saint Andrews NB, Thursday, Dec 15th, at 7:30pm and
at Charlotte Street Arts Centre on Friday, Dec 16th at 8PM (doors 7:30)
JUNO Award-winning singer-songwriter Catherine MacLellan is bringing her Christmas Show to the Maritimes this year. Sharing beloved classics, self-penned holiday songs and some rare gems, Catherine will be accompanied on stage by special guest Tanya Davis and guitarist Nick Gauthier.
Catherine says, “I’ve always loved the music of Christmas, and the fun times singing in kitchens with friends and family over a glass of eggnog. That is the energy I’ll be bringing with me, hoping that people sing along and catch some of that holiday spirit!”
Last year, Catherine released her first Christmas album, a self-engineered and self-produced EP, which includes the original single (“Calling You Home (for the Holidays)”) and three beloved classics (“In The Bleak Midwinter”, “Blue Christmas”, and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”).
“I love the coziness of winter, it’s a time for introspection but also a time for gathering around fires and feasts. Christmas shows bring in all of that for me, the balance between joyful silliness and the sacred. It makes me feel like a child again,” says Catherine.
Day one of classes for The Charlotte Streets Arts Centre + Next Folding Theatre Company’s collaborative writing class: This is What Happened to the Ragdoll Cat!
The eight week course led by playwriting veteran Ryan Griffith will take students through the development of brand new works.

The class will culminate in a public reading where the new scripts will be showcased for the general public on the CSAC auditorium stage. Whether you are working on your next play, film, short story or novel, this class will help you bring your ideas into reality.
The group meets at 7pm on Tuesday nights for a period of eight weeks. The group will meet in the Community Room of the Charlotte Street Arts Centre. Classes begin January 10th.
