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.
