WORLDWIDE READING: Readers for the Worldwide Gathering from Dublin 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. June 16, 2013
The Global Bloomsday Gathering is part of Montreal’s 4 days of celebrations, sponsored by McGill’s Community for Lifelong Learning. Our reading is from Circe and is coming to you from the Westmount Public Library thanks to Donna Lach.
The Technological expertise is provided by Miss Edgar’s and Miss Cramp’s School, Westmount Lauren Aislin, Director of Information Technology and Curriculum Integration, and Douglas Scott, Network Administrator
Our readers today are:
Christopher Moore Last May, Christopher took a place on the Montreal Mirror’s Top Ten Local Actors List for 2012 and was a named one of Montreal’s Noisemakers that January. Still making noise this year, he is soon to be named the Artistic Director of Persephone Productions.
Astri Thorvik is pinch-hitting in this production. She has acted occasionally in the past, but really enjoys the melodrama of Circe as she lives life melodramatically anyway.
Barrie Baldaro who was heard last at Westmount Library reading Dylan Thomas’A Child‘s Christmas in Wales, now looks forward to moving on to Bloom’s day in Ireland.
Pat Machin, a popular teacher of English literature and writing, does have some claim to a vein of Irish blood and the gift of telling a good story.
Kyle Gatehouse was conscripted to join this group of readers.
Louise Chalmers and Susan Gilmore are happily retired teachers who are thoroughly enjoying the time they now have to read, and perform in Circe. Louise has directed this brave group for this production.
