FourPlay – Sunday, February 14, 2021 LiveEvents February 7, 2021 988 FourPlay Infinithéâtre’s 5 à 7 Valentine’s Day Fundraiser Theatre, music and prizes Hosted by Ellen David Infinithéâtre’s got a sweetheart of an evening lined up for you on Sunday, Feb. 14. Hosted by the charismatic Ellen David, four playwrights read excerpts from their plays and four musicians serenade with their songs of love. In the midst of this curfewed, wintry cold, infinithéâtre invites all arts lovers to snuggle into their sofas, pour a glass of something divine and join them this Valentine’s Day for FourPlay, a seductive 5 à 7 with music and tantalizing texts by some of Quebec’s finest artists. All proceeds support new Quebec play development initiatives for ever-widening audiences. Infinithéâtre is dedicated to staging theatre that is as entertaining as it is relevant. Great theatre begins with great writing. The most effective way to put the challenges, diversity and possibilities of our contemporary life on the stage is by seeking out and developing original plays by our own Quebec and Indigenous playwrights. Make it a date… infinithéâtre wants you to be their special someone this Valentine’s Day “In the midst of a season in which cultural activities are understandably limited and people are off in their separate corners, infinithéâtre wants to bring communities together to celebrate and honour our resilient local artists, artisans and businesses,” said new Artistic Director Zach Fraser. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” Featuring: Arthur Holden – – – – – – – reading from Beloved Mishka Lavigne – – – – – – reading from Albumen Michaela Di Cesare – – – – reading from Oppression Remedy Alex Poch-Goldin – – – – – reading from The Trial of William Shakespeare “If music be the food of love, play on.” Live music featuring: the smooth hip-hop of Justin Johnson (Just J); suave singer-songwriter Ariel Ridgeway (Faux Chic); Julie Choi, pianist extraordinaire (from King of Canada); and virtuoso violinist Pavel Denisov.
