She is working with actress Anne-Marie Levasseur, scenographer Julie Vallée-Léger, and director Francis Monty, artistic director at Théâtre de la Pire Espèce. The team will showcase their work to a second-year class at École Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-la-salle in Montreal on Monday, November 4.
Joey Lespérance (Bonjour, là, bonjour, Le Soulier) and Emilie Leclerc (Unité Modèle, Le NoShow Vancouver), will both be cast in Holiday at the Elbow Room Café, produced by ZeeZee theatre. This show will be performed from December 10th to 29th, at the Cultch historic theatre.
