OCTOBER 2013: SEGAL CENTRE MAKING HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD!

- "This past Monday, the Montreal English Theatre Community came together at the Rialto to celebrate the inaugural Montreal English Theatre Awards (METAs). The Segal brought home six trophies, including Best Production and Best Director for last season's smash-hit, Sherlock Holmes. The Segal also swept the Professional Design Categories. We salute all nominees and laureates as well as the Quebec Drama Federation for putting on a fabulous evening.
- Also on Monday, director Chris Abraham was awarded the prestigious Siminovitch Prize in Canadian Theatre. See Paul's Coup de Coeur below to learn more.
- The National Yiddish Theatre – Folksbiene in New York City will present the American premiere of our 2010-2011 Season blockbuster Lies My Father Told Me (inEnglish). If you are travelling to the Big Apple this November, we encourage you to support Elan and Bryna and go see the show! Congratulations to all." - Paul

Our friends at Black Theatre Workshop (who have mounted Le Code Noir and Harlem Duet at the Segal and later this Season will bring their youth show The Meeting to our Studio) are opening their mainstage play, Sal Capone: the Lamentable Tragedy of, the story of a hip-hop group coping with the police shooting of one of their members. The play was written by Vancouver's Omari Newton, whom you may remember from his standout performance in the Centaur's 2003 production of Blue/Orange. Plays at the MAI from October 24th to November 10th: blacktheatreworkshop.ca"
