Droll Stories is based on the stories of Honore de Balzac, directed by Kenneth Brown and created by Theatre Arts students. Droll Stories is a series of short plays filled with laughter, romance and intrigue. Balzac was a great admirer of medieval French stories that were folk tales along the lines of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales or Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decamero. Hekabe, directed by Dave Horak, is a Euripides tragedy originally written in 424 BC and translated by contemporary Canadian poet Anne Carson. Taking place after the Trojan War, the play is a searing portrait of Hekabe, the Queen of Troy, and the revenge she takes over the loss of a son. Now a prisoner of war and a slave to the Greeks, Hekabe is forced to face the ultimate injustice. http://www.edmontonevents.com/index.php?com=detail&eID=5308 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 http://www.edmontonevents.com/index.php?com=detail&eID=3820 *Live Music *All Styles of Music Welcome Musical open stage; open to the public, and professional and amateur performers.

That is, until an American fleet arrived threatening their civilization of tradition and serenity with foreign traders, fussy visitors, and pushy diplomats. Some Japanese resisted, while others embraced the Westerners and assimilated. The musical's original Broadway production in 1976 was nominated for 10 Tony Awards. The score is widely considered to be one of Stephen Sondheim's finest, including songs such as Prologue, Four Black Dragons, Lion Dance, Pretty Lady, and Next. http://www.edmontonevents.com/index.php?com=detail&eID=5294 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 http://www.edmontonevents.com/index.php?com=detail&eID=5315 The passionate, hot-blooded tradition of gypsy music will explode into a showcase of musical fireworks when your Edmonton Symphony Orchestra welcomes The Roby Lakatos Ensemble to their Robbins Pops series.
