Love it, loathe it, you can't avoid it!
Well, that's not entirely true, but should you choose to ignore holiday exit strategies and join the sheeple in celebrating that commercially-imposed stress fest Montreal's delightful Christmas season, then consider the following holiday-related things to do in the next couple of weeks.
In Christmas cooking news, Westmount's quaint culinary bookstore, Appetite for Books, is preparing the masses for holiday baking with a little help from cookbook author/baker Marcy Goldman on Saturday, November 14 at 1 p.m. Admission is $40 and includes a a baking demo of "completely doable" recipes, a copy of Marcy's latest book, The New Best of Betterbaking.com, and of course, freshly baked samples. Call (514) 369-2002 to reserve a spot.
Meanwhile, theatre company Geordie Productions is calling all aspiring actors ages 7 to 11 who would relish the chance to play Tiny Tim in their upcoming family play based on the classic Dickens tale, A Christmas Carol, running December 4 through December 18. The role is open to all races and gender, no acting experience is required and there won't be any rehearsals so time commitment is relatively low. Selected participants will be simply asked to arrive one hour prior to their assigned performance. All applicants need to do is submit a recent head-to-toe photo and a short letter describing what the best gift they've ever received or given someone was and why. Geordie Productions is selecting up to 26 applicants based on letter creativity and enthusiasm as well as applicants' physical size and time availability. Please send submissions to auditions@geordie.ca or by mail to Geordie Productions, 4001 Berri, Suite #103, Montreal, Qc, H2L 4H2. Application deadline is November 20th. Selected Tiny Tims will be announced November 25.
