HISTORY OF BROUE-BREW

In 1974 Michel Côté, Marcel Gauthier and Marc Messier got together with a group of people to form a theatre troupe called Les Voyagements. Following several pro­ductions at La Maison de la Sauvegarde, they opened their own theatre and on March 21, 1979, BROUE launched their season at le Théâtre des Voyagements. Beginning with a highly successful summer run, the story of BROUE is now theatre history with tours throughout Quebec including Place des Arts in Montreal and a total of close to 500 performances — more than 350,000 people have seen BROUE.

Now the “BREW” version of BROUE at Centaur marks the première showing in English after a three-day pre-Montreal run at Lennoxville last month.

snow! The stage walls in the larger theatre were insulated and the heatingsystem extended in to the workshop areas beneath tha t theatre. In the smallertheatre, the mezzanine surrounding the stage was rebu ilt. These changes areobviously im portan t, but the ones that w ill be noticeable to our audiencesw ill be those made in the lobby area, specifically the Galerie: we have openedone w all to display the three w indows tha t were covered up, and the carpetingand fu rn itu re have been replaced. Please take a look at our new bar.

2. Centaur was contracted to put together a collective creation about theunique m u lti-cu ltu ra l aspect o f the c ity , and w ith this money from theM ulticu ltu ra lism D irectorate o f the Departm ent of the Secretary o f State, THEM AIN was researched, rehearsed and presented at various com m un ity centresas well as at Centaur fo r a so ld-out week. I f you missed this show, the successto date indicates a fu tu re fo r THE M AIN , and we w ill keep you inform edabout any plans.

3. The 82/83 season was launched w ith a fund raising pro ject in co-operationw ith CFCF radio, The Gazette, Montreal T rust and Treasure Tours. Posters ofthe Expos were designed by Bruce Roberts and sold at various locations,o ffe ring a chance to w in an original sketch autographed by members o f theteam, tickets fo r the last Expo game in M ontreal and a grand prize of a flig h tfo r tw o to spring tra in ing in Florida. We w ill announce the winners in ournext program.

SOME NOTES:Dana Ivey, o rig ina lly scheduled to appear in DUET FOR ONE w ith MauricePodbrey, is in the Broadway smash h it "Present Laughter", a comedy by NoelCoward featuring George C. Scott. Reviews have been great, fo r the show andfo r Dana, and it looks like a long run. New Y o rk 's gain is Centaur's loss how ­ever and Dana w ill no t be able to jo in us th is season. We are delighted thoughto announce th a t Fiona Reid w ill be able to take on the role in DUET FORONE. Fiona is no stranger to Canadian theatregoers and television viewers- or to Centaur audiences: she last starred here in N IG H T AND D AY .

Regarding subscrip tion changes during the season, we urge you to takeadvantage o f the o ffe r at our box o ffice. However, you r co-operation in givingenough notice, and coming the night you are scheduled, when possible, wouldhelp us enorm ously in accommodating those who need to make any changes.Last season there were many more changes than ever and th is makes it d if f ic u ltw ith our lim ited seating capacity and heavy subscription count.

When making changes on the phone, we w ill need your series and ticke tnumbers and ask you to please pick up your exchange at least one half hourp rio r to the show - the earlier you arrive, the less chance o f getting caught upin long lines at the box o ffice .

We are f in a lly adjusting to our new com puter system and apologize fo r anydelays and problems caused to date.

For any comments or questions, please feel free to call Judy Cutler, D irectoro f Public Relations at 288-1229.
