Directed by Paul Naiman and written by Jacob Greco (and company), Legitimate Investment Opportunity, or LIO, is a sweaty, delusional and inspirational “octo-annual assembly presentation summit conference meeting” that you’ll never forget!

The show was performed inside of the intimate confines of the Theatre Ste. Catherine, with long thin rows of seats for anyone who’s looking to make a sane, sound investment! And don’t worry about whether or not you’ll have trouble hearing the performers, they’ll be yelling frantically at you for the entire night.

On June 9th, we spoke to Ghislain St-Germain Forcier and Emmanuelle Brousseau at the lovely Bela Vista, a family-owned Portuguese bakery located at the corner of Papineau and Beaubien.

Ghislain is 24-year-old French Literature student at L’Univesité de Montréal. Emmanuelle is 21, and studies Production at L’École Nationale de Théâtre/National Theatre School of Canada (NTS). Together they wrote “Icepick-moé l’coeur” (Icepick), a drama about two ex-lovers that can’t quite seem to let each other go. Emmanuelle is the director of the play.

Montreal’s own Annie Sama (alias APigeon) brought her tour to an end at Le Divan Orange on Saturday June 6th, in support of her 2014 debut album “APigeon is Born”.

The electricity was tangible in the air as patrons milled into the venue on a deceptively long spring evening, as the very last of the sun absorbed by the window faded into darkness. Perhaps it was a shared subconscious anticipation for the summer, or the volatile cosmic combination of Mercury in retrograde and a Sagittarius moon that made APigeon's innovative sound particularly potent that evening.
