Theatre Francais de Toronto Presents 3 One- Act Plays

From December 2 to 12 Theatre Francais de Toronto (TfT)  will be presenting three one act plays: The Servant (Le Domestique) by Martin-David Peters, Rendez-Vous With Home (Rendez-vous Lakay) by Djennie Laguerre and Black People Are Happy (Les Noirs sont heureux) by Martin-David Peters.

Djennie Laguerre transports us to Haiti on a voyage that blends humour, oral tradition, and Haitian dance in Rendez-Vous Lakay. The script intermingles French and Creole, and displays the linguistic and poetic richness of the combined languages. 

The performances run from December 2 to 12 at the Berkeley Street Thatre Upstairs. For tickets call (416) 534-6604 or 1-800-819-4981.

7 Stories
Written and Directed by Morris Panych

Presented by CanStage and Theatre Calgary

 7 Stories is the life-affirming story of a man searching for meaning. Perched high on the seventh-storey ledge of an apartment building, a man is preparing to jump. As the lives of the building’s eccentric tenants are revealed through nearby windows, the man comes to realize that everyone one of them has reason to jump, and he may be the most rational of them all. The play stars Peter Anderson as The Man, a role he originated 20 years ago in the premiere production.  7 Stories runs November 9 to December 5, at the Bluma Appel Theatre following a three-week run in Calgary. Box office: 416-368-3110.
