"NOT WITH MY DAUGHTER".
A play by Jay Christopher, directed by Stan Danbrook and performed at École Valois.
Will Gray (Dave Mulgrew) suddenly has a problem. His eighteen year old daughter (Jolene Palmer) appears at his “swinging singles” apartment door. It seems Will and his neighbor, Rip Tracey (Howard DeLong) – a velvet-voiced radio Dee-Jay have a penchant for juggling girls like antacid tablets. Poor Will has a go-go girl (Mary Fabian) in the living room – with her motor running – and a devoted young lady (Cynthia LaRose) in the bedroom – but that’s O.K. since she loves him. Rip has a girl in his apartment already when Will calls on him to also entertain the go-go girl. When Will’s Daughter appears to complicate matters – not only are explanations in order – but his daughter has a taxi cab driver (Gordon Topping) in tow and problems of her own. How is it all resolved? Come and see.

Until November 25: Oka, Summer 1990 by Benoit Aquin/Robert Frechette/Peter Sibbald.
Opening Reception: Friday, Oct. 12th at 7:00pm.
A touring exhibition from the Canadian Museum of Photography.
The three photographers took a different approach to the documentation of the OKA crisis. "What captured their attention was the media circus itself, and the frantic race for the sensational story and for air time. Zigzagging between civil authorities, political powers, the army, the Mohawks and the media representatives, they documented the mediatization of the crisis and the strategies used by each of the groups concerned to capture public attention and sympathy". (CMCP catalogue)
November 30-January 2: John Scott & Douglas Walker: Apocalypse and Slow Death by John Scott and Douglas Walker
Opening Reception: Friday, Nov. 30th at 7:30pm
Curated by Dan Ring, Mendel Art Gallery
"John Scott and Douglas Walker emerged as part of the "New Wave" of Toronto artists in the early 1980's. In the ensuing years, both artists have continued to produce provocative work which firmly established them as among Canada's most important contemporary artists. Both share an interest in the representation of a dystopic world, in Scott's case a violent, sinister world in the process of self destruction; in Walker's, a world sliding into ennui and entropy. What their work has in common is a concern with re-cycling the visual detritus of contemporary world as a kind of social critique. “ Dan Ring
