The Envelope – March 24 to April 19, Centaur Theatre LiveEvents March 16, 2015 5520 WORLD premiere of The Envelope By Vittorio Rossi Reel dilemma. Chasing cinematic success. While excited actors gather in a local Italian restaurant, two producers jockey for the film rights to a new play premiering at an Old Montreal theatre. Torn between an indie L.A. filmmaker and a local producer who dangles a tempting multi-million dollar envelope from the Federal Film Fund, the playwright confronts ambition over loyalty and money over art. Made in Canada movie projects generate more red tape than red carpet winners in this satiric and engaging new play about the celluloid dream factory. Vittorio Rossi is widely considered to be the inaugural Italian-Canadian voice on the English-Canadian stage. – The Canadian Encyclopedia.com The Envelope is Vittorio’s tenth play produced at Centaur Theatre.
