La vie au Québec au début du XXe siècle - 80883DR

JANIE CÔTÉ

In the information age, trying to imagine life in the Quebec of 1905 can be rather difficult for youngsters. Why not get them to live a slice of life from the times of their forbears? That is a successful idea proposed by a teacher: six sketches designed to be done separately or gathered together into a more important show. Integration of subject matter guaranteed! Pride and pleasure assured! Most of the short plays require extras (suffragettes, protestors, partisans, etc.).

	Approximately 60 minutes or 7 to 15 minutes per sketch
