Indie Theatre fuels the Montreal Theatre scene, bringing with it experimental works, emerging talent and exciting new voices. Anything & Everything Productions is no exception. In its first year of public operation alone, the collective has proven that they really can do anything and everything!

Are you ok, Dear Reader? I ask because I got hit by the blues like a truck, and had to climb back to ground level. While I was doing that, I was hearing almost spontaneously from people that they were struggling: sad, isolating, and fighting to keep the good choices going.

Seven years ago, during FringeMTL, I became fast friends with a few members of the queerlesque troupe GlamGam. That year they produced the immensely successful Greasy at Cafe Cleopatra, and I was witness to the unhinged, choreographed chaos three times. After that run, though, the troupe fell quiet.

Combining his love for making people discover movies and his desire to establish a recurring project where a community could be built, Jeremie launched QCCMTL in May 2024, giving Montreal queers and film lovers the chance to experience a piece of queer film history in theatres once a month.

The literary journal yolk has been at the heart of the Montreal art scene for years, and one of its greatest contributions is the annual Literary Oktoberfest, set to return for its third edition tonight, October 24th.

Public libraries offer so much more than just books. Depending on your library’s offerings, you could have access to magazines, films, video games, music, audio books, board games, puzzles, toys, and even electronic devices. They organise programs for patrons of all ages, including story times for children, book clubs for teens, movie viewings for adults, and tech workshops for seniors.

That's a shame in and of itself: the fact that the place where we can globally meet and share ideas is apparently useless for nuance; the fact that the place where we could gather information and strength and build a revolution, is actually just a cesspool of ignorance, vitriol, and AI videos.

On October 10, readers from all over Montreal gathered at Centre Sanaaq for the fifth edition of the Kabir Cultural Centre’s “Garden of Literary Delights.” It was my second time attending the literary panel, and to say I was excited would be an understatement—I left last year’s event buzzing with the excitement of engaging with fresh ideas and adding several new books to my to-read list.

Teesri Duniya’s Rangshala Studio sits at the end of a long hallway on the second floor of the Cité-des-Hospitalières building at Des Pins and Parc. This unique space has been the stage of some of the best theatre I’ve seen in Montreal over the last two years. Blessed I was, then, to have the opportunity to witness It’s Time, and keep that streak alive.

As I entered the Teesri Duniya Theatre located in the Cité-des-Hospitalières, I was certainly grateful I'd already navigated what my poor sense of direction once referred to as a labyrinth. In front of the Rangshala Studio, a Better Bargains logo is stapled with the words “we are hiring!” I look to my left and encourage my friend to apply.
