Preface Theatre will host a cabaret fundraiser on Tuesday, November 12, 
2002, with proceeds going towards our upcoming collaborative creation 
workshop, THE LOST VILLAGES PROJECT, which will take place from November
18 
to December 7.  Preface Theatre is a charitable, not-for-profit, Toronto

based theatre company.

Preface Theatre's mandate is to bring together both experienced and
young artists to share traditions, skills, ideas and inspiration, in
order 
to create a positive and creative theatrical process.  Through this
union, 
Preface Theatre strives towards a rooted cultural identity as Canadian 
artists, and in the exploration of varied artistic forms, to produce
theatre 
that is accessible to a broad spectrum of  audiences.

THE LOST VILLAGES PROJECT is based on the myth and mystery surrounding
the 
villages that were submerged during the flooding of the St. Lawrence
Seaway 
in the 1950's.  The workshop will be directed by Eric J. Rose, under 
Consulting Director Paul Thompson, with Dramaturgy by Sandra Balcovske.
The 
actors collaborating on the project are Janet Amos, John Blackwood,
Michael 
Bradley, and Nicole St. Martin.

Please feel free to forward this email to your friends and family; we
would 
love the support.  Some of the performers at this fundraising cabaret 
include singer/songwriter Kelly Taylor, comedian Robin Archer, poet Jay 
Miller, and the Salty Squirrels comedy troupe.  In addition to the 
performance acts, there will be dancing, and of course, a bar...
