International Voices Project: "The List" ("La Liste") June 27, 2011

Premiere Theatre & Performance presents its second annual concert reading series in collaboration with eight foreign consulates and cultural institutions throughout the Chicagoland area. THE 2011 INTERNATIONAL VOICES PROJECT will run from May 13th to July 12th. These one night concert readings will highlight the voices of global writers, and provide audiences the opportunity to experience rarely seen plays and playwrights from around the world.

In celebration of Canada Day, Quebec playwright Jennifer Tremblay's work "The List" ("La Liste") will be performed. Winner of the 2008 Governor General's Award for Drama, this moving and masterfully crafted tour-de-force begins with a woman invites us into her kitchen. Her neighbor is dead. Is she culpable for the death? The woman, who prides herself on never letting anything slip by, has overlooked an item on her list. A riveting tale of everyday to-do lists in which the essential and the ordinary are inextricably entwined.

This one-woman show will be performed by Chicago actress Lindsay Kane. A reception will follow the performance.
