Trampoline is a well-written black comedy about what happens when a dreamer meets the girl of his dreams. Matt lives in a world where the line between fiction and reality has blurred, where his dreams can and do occur while awake.  His urge to tell others of his dreams pushes everyone away including his therapist. That is until Kelly moves in next door. She is beautiful, talented and funny and has a trampoline. Matt is instantly smitten. An awkward and unlikely relationship is ignited. Will Kelly be the key to open the door to the reality that Matt truly belongs in?

 Shane Adamczak again displays his natural ability to completely immerse himself in his characters and draw the audience into his world. Along with the equally excellent performances by Stevie (Kelly and therapist) and Vance (dream characters, cousin, pizza delivery man etc) the play is both touching and hilarious. It gives hope to all ‘social misfits’ that everyone has an important place in the fabric of society. It may take a while to find it but it is always there.   

Trampoline est une comédie noire bien écrite sur ce qui se passe lorsqu'un rêveur rencontre la fille de ses rêves. Matt vit dans un monde où la frontière entre fiction et réalité a floue, où ses rêves peuvent et se produisent lorsqu'il est éveillé.  Son envie de raconter aux autres  ses rêves pousse tout le monde, y compris son thérapeute. C'est jusqu'à ce que Kelly s’emménage comme voisin. Elle est belle, talentueuse et drôle et possède un trampoline. Matt est instantanément enchanté. Une relation difficile et improbable s'enflamme. Est-ce-que Kelly sera la clé pour ouvrir la porte à la réalité a le quelle que Matt appartient vraiment ?

 Shane Adamczak affiche à nouveau ses talents naturels de totalement s'immerger dans ses personnages et attirer le public dans son univers. Outre les performances tout aussi excellentes de Stevie (Kelly et la thérapeute) et Vance (les personnages de rêve, son cousin, le livreur de pizzas etc.), ce pièce de théâtre est la fois touchante et drôle. Il donne de l'espoir à tous les « inadaptés sociaux » que tout le monde a une place importante dans le tissu social. Il peut prendre un certain temps pour le trouver, mais il est toujours là.

Alt Hotel

No-frills chic with a huge heart

by Nancy Snipper

Montreal has just opened a spanking new Alt Hotel from the Germain family line of Alt hotels (Groupe Germain Hospitalité: GGH).  These unique hotels stretch all across Canada – Winnipeg will open its ALT Hotel doors next year, and Ottawa’s will fling open in 2016. Ten existing Alt Hotels already stand tall in Canada.

 The Germain signature of contemporary chic is striking in its sparseness. Devoid of ostentatious décor and clutter, this energy-efficient, environmental-conscious hotel sports confident class while creating a cutting edge trend. Clients and those in the know are signing up for the ultimate Alt Hotel experience.

(For photo gallery, click here).

What is fabulous about this particular hotel is its partnership with Déclic, a 20-year-old charitable organization that gives young adults in crisis a second chance at educational institutions. In fact, GGH has donated $8 thousand to Déclic and has utilized the talents of fifteen of teenagers from Déclic along with photographers to produce an amazing pictorial mural of iconic emblems and scenes from Montreal.

This colourful mural that strides the wall of the lobby is made up of three walls covered with 1,200 images of varying sizes and a screen which displays photos shared on Instagram in real time using the hashtag #altexpo. How appropriate that this hotel sits in the heart of Griffintown- the first to claim a prized spot for a hotel in this historical and exciting region.

The hotel is dark grey. Alluring lights on columns and walls enliven the interior in soft purple and violet hues. Terraces and eight conference rooms covering approximately 4,400 square feet blend in with the ambiance of a futuristic feel. Rooms are really stand-outs. Each of the 18 floors is bathed in stupendous sunlight with breathtaking views that seem to curve around each room Aluminum panels and bricks recycled from old buildings in the neighbourhood mark the exterior and the interior boasts a totally Quebec team of architects (MMB Architects) designers (Lemay Michaud Architecture Design), art work (Pascale Girardin) and furniture by Quebec  artisans.  The hotel also features a cozy gym with a vast window view and outdoor patio of 800 square feet.

You’ll be in the heart of Montreal and feel like a god staring down at skyscrapers, bridges, streets, parks from all the awesome “Alt” views. The price to stay is only $149.00 per night. Visit their website at: http://montreal.althotels.ca/en
