Nov 26 at 8pm: Caracol (at La Petite Slague). In the winter of 2011, Carole Facal
(alias Caracol) hunkered down in her home studio to write the songs that would become
her new album “Blanc mercredi” (White Wednesday). Inspired by winter imagery, love
poems, paintings and art deco pieces, her French and English lyrics shine through
pleasantly rousing arrangements that draw from alternative pop, retro soul and old-time
folk. With her band members, Caracol seems to be hosting an intimate family affair,
where everyone adds their touch to the proceedings. Fine harmonies are supported by
unexpected sounds, produced by various guitars and resonators, a ukulele, vintage
amplifiers and all sorts of percussions. The soundscape is unique, modern and gleaming
with love… quite the irony for a girl who in earlier days had sworn to have no truck with
that topic in her songs! Yet her musings now remind us that life’s beauties and truths are
all the more precious when they seem all too rare. Little Montreal, Elgin Street. info :

le 26 novembre 2011 à 20 h au Little Montreal: Caracol à La Petite Slague. Au cœur
de l’hiver de 2011, Carole Facal (alias Caracol) s’est enfermé dans un cocon sonore
pour composer les pièces de son nouvel album « Blanc mercredi ». Inspirés par des
images hivernales, des poèmes d'amour, des livres de peinture et d'art déco, ses textes
francophones et anglophones se collent à des musiques aux accents folk, pop alternatif
et rétro-soul. Accompagnée par ses musiciens, c'est dans une ambiance quasi familiale
que Caracol peint son « Blanc mercredi ». En cet univers intimiste, les sonorités
délicieusement fêlées côtoient les harmonies vocales raffinées et les guitares,
résonateurs, ukulélés, vieux amplificateurs et percussions de toutes sortes. Le résultat
est lumineux et authentique, résolument moderne, rempli d'amour… non sans ironie
pour Caracol, qui avait jadis juré ne jamais écrire à ce sujet! Or, ses chansons
hypersensibles rappellent que la beauté existe toujours et que les certitudes, aussi rares
soient-elles, sont belles. info : www.laslague.ca Billets : www.letno.ca

Dec 16, 17 and 18: Espanola Little Theatre presents Jacob Marley’s Christmas
Carol by Tom Mula - presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play
Service, Inc., New York. THE STORY: "Marley was dead, to begin with…"—and what
happens to Ebenezer Scrooge's mean, sour, pruney old business partner after that?
Chained and shackled, Marley is condemned to a hellish eternity. He's even given his
own private tormentor: a malicious little hell-sprite who thoroughly enjoys his work.
Desperate, Marley accepts his one chance to free himself: To escape his own chains, he
must first redeem Scrooge. So begins a journey of laughter and terror, redemption and
renewal, during which Scrooge's heart, indeed, is opened; but not before Marley—in this
irreverent, funny and deeply moving story—discovers his own. Co-produced by Karen
Gerrard and Warren Maskell. Directed by Jason Morrow. Featuring an Award winning
cast of Chris Cayen, Jessica Lajoie, Helen Landry, Ray Landry and introducing Devin
Bernetchez. Royal Canadian Legion, Espanola. For details:

OTHER ARTS AND CULTURE INFORMATION
Arts Scholarship Comes Alive with Support from Rock and Roll Legend.
Cambrian College’s recent collaboration with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee
Alice Cooper has resulted in the establishment of a new scholarship for students
in Graphic Design. “Alice’s support was just what we needed,” said Ron Beltrame,
coordinator of the Graphic Design program. “We had been fundraising for years through
different initiatives, trying to raise enough money to create a self-sustaining scholarship,
and now we’ve finally reached our goal.” The legendary rocker performed in Sudbury on
May 18, satisfying fans and signing an original painting created by former Cambrian
student, Tennille Heinonen. Prints of the painting were sold for $20 each at Sudbury
Paint and Custom Framing and at Cambrian College. Everyone who purchased a print
was entered into a draw to win the autographed painting. The Alice Cooper print
campaign raised more than $2,200, adding to the $3,000 already raised for the
scholarship. The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities will match the total
amount, bringing the total of the scholarship funds to over $10,000. “Now, we’ve got
enough money to award $500 to a deserving student every year,” said Beltrame. “We’re
not stopping here. We’re going to continue to fundraise to support our students.” After
much anticipation, the winner of the original painting signed by Alice Cooper has been
drawn. The winner is Beth Robbins, a 1st-year Graphic Design student, who purchased
a print online through the Cambrian Foundation to get in on the draw for the original
artwork.
